Option to turn off the watermark for specific images

We think of a flexible solution and maybe in upcoming release a filter will be available to add custom conditions before watermarking, so you can control that (based for e.g. on user capabilities, ID and so on)

Problem is WordPress starts uploading (and watermarking if enabled) right after you select images from your disk or drag & drop it. We’d had to stop this process and force an action to apply watermark or not for each of the images – it doesn’t look good to me.

@tricky, I replied to your comment – I hope it will guide you on how to achieve that.

There is a filter hook you can try: iw_watermark_display

function custom_iw_watermark_display ($attachment_id) {
// your code here
return $attachment_id;
}
add_filter('iw_watermark_display', custom_iw_watermark_display);

But I’m not sure if userdata will be available. Combine the filter above with the following function http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user to return false on specified conditions (like user role, user id, etc.)
