Hello.
Regarding adding watermarks in product gallery, I had the very same problem - i.e. nothing worked.
So after a few frustrating hours I figured it's the permissions problem. Joomla utilizes 2 users - the httpd user and the ftp user. I also switched to plain gd and built-in php file handling. I somewhat modified a script i've found online - now it all works (for me at least). The idea is to create a temp folder for output images with php (httpd user), then do the necessary operations with joomla JFolder class (ftp user).
In '/administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php' right after these lines:
