Issue with using SVG as watermark

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I've been using the Spatie Image library and it's been a great tool for my projects. Recently, I've encountered an issue that I'd like to discuss and seek some guidance on.

When attempting to use an SVG file as a watermark, I'm encountering the following error:

Code

use Spatie\Image\Manipulations;
use Spatie\Image\Image;

Image::load(public_path("test2.jpg"))->watermark(public_path("img/watermark.svg"))->watermarkPosition(Manipulations::POSITION_CENTER)->watermarkHeight(100, Manipulations::UNIT_PERCENT)->watermarkWidth(100, Manipulations::UNIT_PERCENT)->save();

Error

Intervention\Image\Exception\NotReadableException Unable to init from given binary data.

This seems to be specific to SVG files, as using PNGs doesn't trigger this error.

PNG code

Image::load(public_path("test2.jpg"))->watermark(public_path("img/watermark.png"))->watermarkPosition(Manipulations::POSITION_CENTER)->watermarkHeight(100, Manipulations::UNIT_PERCENT)->watermarkWidth(100, Manipulations::UNIT_PERCENT)->save();

working

Additionally, I'm concerned about the watermark quality when using PNGs, as it may not scale properly on larger images.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice or solutions you might have for this situation. If there's a workaround or a different approach I should consider, please let me know.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best regards
