Description mnaugendre 2013-12-05 16:07:26 UTC
When adding a watermark with both X and Y margins set to 0%, there seem to be at least 1 remaining pixel on one or two margin(s).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put a picture in the batch queue
2. set up the watermark tool with a .png file bigger than the picture, and set size to 100% and X and Y margins to 0
3. run BQM
Actual Results:  
Generated picture always has at least 1 pixel margin on one or two margins, depending on the placement choice.

Expected Results:  
Zero margins on all four sides of the picture.

I use this tool to add a drop shadow on all four sides of the picture, to add it more depth. But this won't work if there some margins remain on one or two sides.

a patch to solve the margin problem

HI , I solved this "bug" and here is the batch .
In the following post I will send screenshots

There were two problems :-

First in the function calls : watermarkRect.moveTopRight() , watermarkRect.moveBottomLeft(), watermarkRect.moveBottomRight() , We needed to pass (Width -1 ) and (height -1 ) instead of Width and height.

The second problem was that the watermark photo has a different aspect ration than the original photo. An option to "Keep Aspect ratio" of the waterMark was used, so however large the watermark Image was , keeping its aspect ratio will always leave spaces in the actual image. 
Changing the option from Qt::KeepAspectRatio  to  Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio  will solve the problem and make the watermark always have the aspect ratio of the original photo as @mnaugendre requires. but it is not logical to Always ignore the aspect ratio of the watermark and stretch it to be exactly like the image. So I added a new checkbox to allow the user to ignore the water mark aspect ratio If that is what he really needs , which is unchecked by default.
