[TYPO3] How do I make gifbuilder work on temp generated image files ?

[dave typo]

I dont know if i was clear, I'm basically trying to use gifbuilder to
watermark an image that is generated (scaled) by typo3. ie: add a gifbuilder
overlay while the original image is being scaled. So that way, the temp
file, in this case, the 4a4eb19c26.jpg (the scaled image) would have a
gifbuilder graphic overtop of the original as it is scaled down.

So, I don't think your method is what I am looking for...

I dont think that my request is possible using typoscript, but I wanted to
ask.

However, is there another way to do what im talking about?
