Hi,
the quality of the output file is set to 100%. This is the reason, why the file size is so big. I have this in focus for the next update. At moment you can change this only in code. So find in the file: <strong >marekkis-watermark/wm_functions.php the following lines
switch(exif_imagetype($file)) {
case 2: ImageJPEG($photoImage,$file,100);break;
and remove “,100“. so you need only:
switch(exif_imagetype($file)) {
case 2: ImageJPEG($photoImage,$file);break;
After this the quality of the watermarked images will by stay at default and the size of your pictures change minimally.

Best Wishes,
Marekki.
