haha.. I like your last "If it all still works!" Here's hoping that
apple doesn't make automator obsolete just as I'm using it.
So... thank you for pointing out that I could start the project as an
image filter! the second I did that it created what was needed!!
Now I'm playing around looking for the right compositing tools.
Any idea where I would be able to find this class:
http://www.quartzcomposer.com/patches/780-ci-stencil-alpha-blend-mode
I think that's the class I'm looking for but it doesn't show up in the
library of quartz commands

Automator workflows will tend to work with what are called QuartzComposer
"protocol" compositions; Graphic Animation, Image Filter, etc.
You will probably want to make an Image Filter protocol composition. Use the
QuartzComposer editor template chooser. Edit the composition to your liking.
The simplest thing is probably to place a Composite patch on the editor. Place
your original image in one input, the watermark in the other, then find the
suitable blend mode for the Composite patch. Take the output of that composite
and attach it to the input of the protocol splitter image output.
There may be some more efficient ways, but I'm describing what I think is
probably easiest.
In Automator, there are workflows that allow you to then run images through any
Image Filter qtz's you place in your Compositions folder. You pretty much
choose that, tweak whatever fields are needed, and you should be good to
go....if it all still works!

I would guess you could do something like this. Certainly Quartz Composer can
do the image processing.

Newbie question trying to determine if Quartz Composer is the tool I need.
I looked in Automator and saw there's a way to use Quartz Composer Compositions
in automator to edit images.
I have a background in programming, and node based architecture (from the 3d
application Maya). Can I create my own quartz composition to show up in
Automator? Supposedly it will add any composition in /Library/Compositions.
And are there any tutorials for doing this? (I'd also be willing to spend a few
bucks if there was someone around with the time to answer a few questions).
I want to be able to have automator automatically apply a set image (basically
a watermark) over another image using the watermark's alpha channel. And I want
it to do this for any image that's placed in that folder. I tried already with
a photoshop droplet, but it seems unreliable.
thanks!
