Watermarking on thumbnail depending on the asset's metadata

Hi, I am following this - Watermarking to add digital watermark to assets. However I want to modify this process slightly, I want to apply thumbnail images to assets based on its metadata fields. So for example: I upload an image file that has a metadata 'hasright Ristriction' field called 'HAS RIGHTS RISTRICTION'. Now the condition for a thumbnail and it's watermark would be: if 'HAS RIGHTS RISTRICTION' is 'YES'     apply thumbnail image watermarked 'X' but else if 'HAS RIGHTS RISTRICTION' is 'NO'     don not watermark the image. Slightly confused on how I can get this done, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Manpreet

In Understanding how OR Split in workflow works  there is an example how the you can access the workflow metadata from a custom workflow step and set a property in there. And in the OR split you can the retrieve this value.

Does that help?

When you modify the workflow, you can implement an OR-split with the correct condition; and if that condition is met, the watermark step is executed; if it's not met, it runs through an empty step.

In case you cannot read your metadata directly inside the OR-split, you need to a step before which fetches the relevant asset metadata and adds it to the workflow metadata, which should be accessible by the OR split.

Hi Joerg,

I am able to fecth the metadata property "hsy:assetRightsRestriction" by creating a workflow but unable to figure out how to access this property in OR split?

Thanks,

Did you get a workflow for watermarking thumbnails in the end?
