Are there any potential pitfalls to be aware of when automatically adding branding to images in PHP?

One potential pitfall to be aware of when automatically adding branding to images in PHP is the risk of overwriting the original image file. To avoid this, it is recommended to save the branded image as a new file or use a different file format. Additionally, make sure to handle errors properly to prevent any issues with the branding process. 

// Sample code to automatically add branding to an image in PHP

// Load the original image
$originalImage = imagecreatefromjpeg('original.jpg');

// Add branding to the image
$branding = imagecreatefrompng('branding.png');
imagecopy($originalImage, $branding, 10, 10, 0, 0, imagesx($branding), imagesy($branding));

// Save the branded image as a new file
imagejpeg($originalImage, 'branded_image.jpg');

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($originalImage);
imagedestroy($branding);
