Really Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men – Part Three
It just seems these guys don’t get it, honestly how hard can it be to do this job right.
Looks like I’m spending yet again more quality time on the phone complaining to the council again this week. They most certainly won’t be getting any tip this Christmas unless the tip is “Do you job properly” and they want lessons on how be a refuge collection person.
Part one and two:
Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men – Part Two

Goodby Woolworths My Ole Friend!
It’s with sad regret that it seems we will be saying good bye to Woolworths, a company which has been a strong root of many peoples lives with a history stemming back over 100 Years. I’m still being optimistic in the hopes of someone coming forward to save this historical business.
On another note, I couldn’t belive how selfish the British public are and how cheap they were, crying out that things were not cheap enough to the staff of Woolworths who this Christmas will be celebrating without a job, just spent thought on them and their families. I guess the UK is just full of cheap usless barstools who need to get a grip on reality!
Did I hear the government were considering helping out Vauxhal? What a load of crap.
Magento Watermarks make the background grey or pixelated!
Whilst trying out Magento it became apparent that when you wish to watermark your product images it would overcast a grey background which could also be pixelated, although not ideal there is a way to combat this.
Transparent Image:
Note that it kinda works in the left of this image but the corners don’t look right, then see the top right how the wording is pixelated with blocky grey around it.
Here is an image with a background:
See how it’s now working as I intended.
So as a temporary fix you could give your product a background or border it right on the edge. It’s not ideal and keep in mind if you run multiple stores or shops with different themes it could look off, also if you change the pages individual designs it could also look odd.
So with your product image and your watermark image being transparent it doesn’t play well together.
If you wish to get messy with some code then take a look at the comments over at PHP.net:

There are some handy tidbits in there to read.
If you don’t then the above information should be enough to at least get your images displaying right but one might then argue, why not add your copyright when creating the image? Unless you plan on changing your copyrights.
