You can brand all the images present in your application by placing your official logo as watermark on images. This can be done in a programmatic manner using a paperclip gem.

Requirements:
• Add paperclip gem to your ruby on rails application and install all the dependencies like image magick.

Implementation:
• Choose a model and add image attribute columns by following paperclip documentation.
• Using paperclip options you can easily define different size of images within the model.
• Paperclip allows you to add your custom processor to deal with the images and its sizes.
• If you have multiple sizes of images then you can workout the changes on the original image by adding a custom processor. So that the other images will do have a watermark image correspondingly.
• Create a processor and place in your library folder of your application. If you have multiple processors then it is suggested to have a folder for processors.

• By using this module, you can manipulate the image to handle watermarking.
• Your model cant call any of the method in the module since its out of model scope. You can require the module by specifying require    paperclip_processors/watermark’ on top of your model inside the class.
• Once after requiring the module, you can able to call the processor on to your image with various options.
• You can place your desired image/logo in public folder.
• Specify the following options in your model inorder to get the watermark on the uploaded image.

:original => {		
			:processors => [:watermark],
			:watermark_path => "#{Rails.root}/public/images/logo-home-new.png",
			:position => 'NorthWest',
			:watermark_dissolve => 90,
			:auto_orient    => false
		}

• Here the processors option in the original hash uses the customized watermark class.
• Watermark_path should have the watermark image complete url. This image will come on uploads.
• The position option is where the watermark image will get pasted. For now, the watermark image comes on left-top    of the uploaded      image, refer the documentation of image magick for various values to pass.
• Auto orient adjusts an image so that its orientation is suitable for viewing. Currently it is set to false.
• After all configurations are done, the image uploads will get a watermark present on them.
• For adding watermarks to existing images in your model, you can try as below,

ModelName.find_eachdo|rec|
rec.image_or_avatar.reprocess!
end

Note: Running above command on your model will convert all the images to be watermarked.
