Automatically add watermark to uploaded photos/attachements

I would very much like to see a mod that would automatically add a predefined watermark to images attached in posts. For my site at least people post personal photos of people, scenery etc. The ability to add a watermark on the fly would be very helpful.

Parameters that would allow me the most freedom on what and where to add the watermark...
  • I have a choice of adding an image or text watermark
  • I can place watermark anywhere on the photo. Even across the middle of the pic if I desire. For example, A 'SMALL" string of characters that simply state the website written across the image would suffice.
  • Adding hidden digital info to the image that states where the photo was originally posted, ownership etc, that isn't deletable by the unscrupulous thieves. This will supply proof if they're found elsewhere that the photo was stolen and reposted by someone other than the owner.

Just trying to add some security to photo uploads. I understand we can't stop image theft but I'd like to offer as much deterrent as possible.
 
An additional thought on this...

Is it possible to have a watermark added when someone "right - save's" and image? What I mean is the image would post to the forum without the added watermark, but if someone tries to save it to their computer a watermark is added at that time so when they get it on their computer it has a covering watermark. Either have the website url written across the center of the pic or a large mostly see through embossed logo/url etc.

That would be awesome :)
