I want to suggest an optional "on/off watermark" feature available on image upload. It would be cool to tick a checkbox ifI want to apply watermark on uploaded image. The main reason which leads me to this request is that I want to upload logotypes and other graphic pictures without watermark. I need watermarks to apply to photos only. Consider this feature and post your opinion to this request please.

Thank you!

This is a reasonable request, I will see if I can find a way to apply it without changing the essential policy, which has two aspects:
1) The 'top-down' approach, for the company that wants all the images it's employees upload to be watermarked. This is applied by providing the path to the image in the admin configuration.
2) The 'per-user' approach which is for the situation where the users are not subject to an employer's will and can supply their own. This is where the option makes sense.

I will try to get onto this soon.

Actually, I had forgotten, this feature is already available. You need to 'Enable User configuration', 'Enable Watermarks in Imagepicker' but do *not* supply a path to an image under 'Default Watermark image:' (all on the admin page), instead upload your image(s) under My Imagepicker > Config and set any other options you need. A checkbox will appear on the upload form.
