It would be very nice to make it possible to add watermarks to images in Phoca cart.
Maybe it already happened, but there is no search on the forum.
Regards.

Hi, it was not planned.
Mostly if e.g. images are sold, then images with low quality will be used to present them on the website and large images with high quality are stored in ZIP files which can be downloaded after purchase.
The problem of having thumbnails with watermark is, you still need some original image (where there are no thumbnails) which is used for creating thumbnails and then you need to care about this file on your server, so it cannot be accessed, etc. etc.
- so mostly it is better to upload image including watermark to the server (as original, so you don't need to care about the original)
- and of course large image with high quality add to ZIP files which will be downloaded after purchase - the download files are at least protected by tokenized path (and it can be more protected when moving them behind public_html) - this protection is possible for images ready to download, but not for images which should be displayed for public on the web - because the path of public images is just displayed in HTML source code.
Anyway added to feature request list.
