 * Hi there,
 * First off let me start by saying great plugin! It’s been great so far!
 * I am having an issue with the plugin recently: it takes forever to upload a picture
   onto the media library when trying to create a new post.
 * I contacted my hosting company and they informed me that there was a fatal error:
   
   PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   33544 bytes) in *……..* line 745.
 * Any idea how to correct this issue?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Hello,
 * First of all, please tell me one thing: does the problem appear only on uploading
   a new image? Can you watermark the image after it was uploaded without watermark?
   Does the bulk action work correctly?
 * If so, please disable Easy Watermark and try to upload an image. Maybe some other
   plugin causes the error?
 * If the image loaded correctly, please now enable Easy Watermark again, and disable
   all other plugins. Try to upload an image.
 * Please give me your results of the experiments described above, so I’ll have 
   a better start point to help you.
 * Best Regards

 * After doing some extensive testing, it turns out the issue was another plugin..
   My apologies.
 * I do have another question for you thought: is there a way to have a maximum 
   height and width that the watermark can expand to regardless of the size of the
   image? More specifically, if an image has a big height, can we prevent the watermark
   from becoming huge?
 * Thanks again for your time!
