Watermark

Hmmm, now you have me thinking. My buddy, whose bike I'm changing the oil on this evening, is a graphic artist. How many oil changes do I need to do to get a free logo design? LOL

Sounds good. I can use that for leverage and then bargain for the 1/2 price, best friend discount!! LOL

You should not remove a watermark from someone's photo especially someone here on the forum.

You're clearly missing the idea of my post. What's the point of putting a 'watermark', an incorrect description of what exists here, if it's so removeable. Digital images are virtually impossible to mark with indelible, unremoveable footprints - they can, but not easily - so why do it in the first place?

A bona-fide end-user would not be interested in copying the image for their own purposes, and the plagiarism of material, by those who would, is'nt going to be stopped by adding a 'logo'.

You clearly missed the idea of my post. You do not delete anyone's watermark on this forum. You need to delete the post where you did it and never do that on this forum again.

Watermarks, added images to jpg's, do not work as a means of 'protecting' the image. And I'm unclear as to why they are used.

They don't protect the image per say, but they do provide a quick visual cue as to who the owner and copyright of the picture belongs to (as an example), or sometimes a web address to the owner's site etc

All photo-agencies require any logo's to be removed, and as yet I've not seen an image in a professional magazine with a logo on it.

​This could be due to the fact the photograph has already been sold to the magazine by the photographer, or that somewhere hidden away in the literature is information pertaining to who the copyrights belong to and what people are allowed to do (or not do) with the images in the magazine.

For hard-copy proof you can do something like this, but remember if you are paid to take photographs the ownership of the images rest with the payer (the employer) not the photographer, unless a prior contract arrangement exists.

I removed my previous post. Tony.

Well, I just use it now because I earlier have found some of my pictures on a few websites, not shared, but just copied from my page - that way no one knows where it comes from. I know people can remove the watermark/signature, but a lot dont know how to do that, and for my pictures, they are not grapping it to pretend they made it, they just think its pretty/cute/funny, and want to show it off.

I might as well get a little free advertising, if someone are grapping my pictures

The easiest way that I've found to watermark, add frames, etc. from Lightroom is by using Mogify2. Check out this recent thread for more info.

Am I the only one on a mac?! I was again looking for a watermarking program which also could write the exif data on the image for me.. but now I've been looking for more than half an hour and still nothing.

Seems that all the programs you posted, are for Lightroom or PC. Dont have either. I tried a program a while ago but deleted it and now I dont remember the name.

I'm on a Mac (and PC) and the easiest solution for me is on output processing from Lightroom using Mogrify as described earlier. Are you using a catalog/asset managing program (e.g. Aperture, Lightroom, ACDSee, etc.)?
