Hi,
I'd like to know what everyone thinks on water marking pictures both for online and for prints.
I use two programs for watermarking. First I used Picture shark but with it I have no control over size etc. Now I have used a couple of tutorials I use Paint Shop Pro 8 to do it.
When you look at someones gallery or submission do you block the watermark out mentally or what? I've looked at a load of them and so long as the watermark is not a big bold and dense logo in the middle I tend to ignore it.
As for prints. I was thinking that I will be using a watermark but scanning any saleable prints on my laptop descretely in the corner add the watermark then getting them printed. Mainly I want people to not rip off my photos and I'd like to think that people will be able to see the watermark and think of who did the pic for them.
Any views ?
