I've tried to reply to this thread three times to explain what I ended up
with but they just aren't coming through... lets try again...
Basically, I gave up. Nothing that resolved the issue was a valid long term
solution. I've watermarked the images manually and removed all of the code
to handle it on the fly.
I'll still use it in a code that watermarks the images as I upload them I
guess.
So now it is VERY simple...
<cfdirectory name="variables.mastImages" action="list"
directory="#expandPath('/images/mastimages/')#" filter="*.jpg" />
<cfset variables.mastImg = randRange(1,variables.mastImages.recordcount) />
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
#variables.mastImages['name'][variables.mastImg]#">
<cfcontent type="image/jpg" reset="true"
file="#expandpath('/images/mastimages/' &
variables.mastImages['name'][variables.mastImg])#" />
Thanks for all the input and ideas. Much appreciated.

If the images are never going to be used on the site without a watermark
then you will save substantial processing time by doing so. We have a
website that allows people to upload a picture which we mark, then they can
caption them aka lolcats.com style. So a particular image could have many
different captions marked on it.
When I first designed it all watermarks were on the fly but after a few days
of testing I found I was bogging the server down with extensive processing
even though as you say there was a satisfaction of the magic behind it. Now
instead we mark the images once and save copies and reference them. It
takes up more space but hard drive space was a lot cheaper than more
processing power.
