thanks @texnixe that helps out better than the watermark plugin the other day.
as reference for other users - you can actually chain each function just as you can do with kirby
$img = new abeautifulsite\SimpleImage($image->root());
$img
->overlay(url('assets/images/watermark.png'), 'bottom right', .5, -10, -10)
->best_fit(1200, 1200)
->save($page->root() . '/' . $image->name() . '-overlay.jpg');
i have seen that simpleimage already features a version 3 - while kirby includes 2.4.0.
is there any chance that it’ll get updated as well by any chance?
