I have a couple of images that I want to stack on top of each other. One is the image that everyone will see, and a transparent image that will sit on top of the main image.
I have seen that it can be done using CSS and HTML, but I was wondering if there is a way to do it the"CakePHP" way.
This is a concept that I would like to use as these images are from an artist and I don't want people to just download the images. This way, when they click on the image, what they will get is my transparent image instead of the "real" one.

You need to change the image if you don't want to give people access
to the original. "Right-click" and saving an image isn't the only way
to see an image from a website - there wouldn't be anything stopping a
person from looking at the image html that's generated from CakePHP
and downloading from there. In fact, they wouldn't even need to wade
through your html. If they're using Firefox, they could just go Tools
-> Page Info, click on the "media" tab and see nothing but the media
that's on the page, perfectly set out for them with image previews, a
"save as" button and everything.
There would be a lot ways to still get the image, even if you put
another, blank image over it.
Watermarking is probably the best idea.
