[QUOTE="STM, post: 269573, member: 12827"] Watermarking is not that big a deal on this site because all of our images cannot be right clicked upon and saved. Of course that does not prevent them from being PrtScr'd and pasted into a program like PS, but doing that limits the size of the image considerably. In my opinion at least, the watermark in your image is very intrusive and distracting. K[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]eep in mind that our eyes are naturally drawn to things in the image which seem like they do not belong there. Any type of text will immediately get your attention. And to have a large block of the image lightened and your name across it really kind of ruins the image. If I sign my images, which is not all the time, I use a very small watermark which is in an unobtrusive place and it never touches the main subject (a person in portraiture).
