Hello everyone! I seem to be going in circles in my search for this very specific information regarding image manipulation.

Here's what I need, and I'm willing to pay decent money to get it if it's not out there yet, I need a PHP class which will add license data to an image file... similar to EXIF data, but different. lol

useplus.com is a website/company devoted to standardizing the licensing of images... what a photographer does is they enter specific license information into the website and a XML-type file is output... then, there's a proprietary program that embeds the license file into the image... if the image is viewed with a text editor, or a program like Windiff, one can see the XML-type file inside the image; however, any manipulation of the image immediately destroys it.

Tomorrow I will engage in my membership with that website where I hope to find other tools, hopefully a PHP script, which performs the embed of the file... in the mean time though, do any of you have any idea on how I might go about this? Would you want to take on the task of creating the aforementioned PHP class?

Thanks.
