magento - Image type and information need to be specified for each store view

Question

I have a working Magento 1.4.1.0 installation that is due to go live next week, all was well until yesterday when I noticed the following message when uploading images to a product 'Image type and information need to be specified for each store view'. The image uploads fine and is visible on my server, the preview works when I hover over it too.

But when I attempt to load the product on the front-end the template breaks in places and when I view the source the img src="" is blank?

Two things I played around with before I noticed it wasn't working were image watermarks and attribute sets, could this be a factor?

I have searched the Magento forums but cannot find a solution that works..

I have tried the following to fix it... Installing the dull uploading to replace the flash one, tweaking the .htaccess and php.ini, flushing the cache and indexes.

I am at a total loss and have a fast approaching deadline.

Please can someone help?

Thanks Dan

I had the same problem, later I found that this notice was normal, but the custom image used to watermark the product images was very large, so the small images were not visible.

I removed the watermark image and cleared the image cache form cache management, after that when I refreshed the catalog, all images were visible without any issue.
