 * I just tested this plugin and it watermarked the images without any problem.
 * So its most likely a hosting issue. Does setting the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT in the wp-
   config file get over-ridden at the host level? Might want to check in more detail
   there. Maybe you can modify the php.ini file, I have had to make changes there
   on some hosts I have encountered over the years. You may have to email the host
   about this as well.

 * I ran into the same issue as I started to use the plugin more.
 * I uploaded 4 files, 3 were in the 300k range and it worked fine. The one that
   was closer to the upload limit, 1.9 mb threw a similar memory limit error. Resize
   your images before upload to 1200 px or so and maybe it will work as is while
   a solution is worked out.

 * Hi,
    you can also change the memory limit via .htaccess file if your hosting 
   provider support this settings. A.
