I am not a gimp guru, but try this:

Open your image and go to Edit-> Select All

Then go to Colors->Color to Alpha

Make any changes you want and save the image as an .xfc file.

Everytime you want to watermark some image, create a layer over the image you
are working with and paste the watermark on such layer.
