I had a band save my images off Facebook. They posted and did not link me in any of the photos then tagged the wrong photographer in another. Things like that are the only reason im considering a watermark.

There are hundreds of AI apps specifically made to remove watermarks. The only viable way has been distorting your images with random patterns that cover the entire image. Watermarks are more irrelevant and useless now more than ever.

Why take the time, pay to get there and then add an after thought watermark to your creation? They don't have to guess with Meta data that doesn't impose on your creation. How many followers have you gotten from your watermark? Even when people tag you in a post the numbers are close to zero.

That idea is GENIUS!!!! 😃👊 TIP: With the metal clamp clips, 1 of 2 things can help (they’re so cheap & easy to find everywhere in various sizes so worth doing IMO, even to have as backups).. If using fabric backdrops or when denting isn’t an issue, you can deliberately pull those rubber ends off & reapply them with a dab of glue so loosing the tips won’t be an issue If denting is an issue, you can buy rolls of foam tape super cheap, or even those tiny “foam craft squares/dots” (sometimes sold as “photo squares/dots”) & add some on the inside of the teeth as a buffer. Just read carefully when buying foam tape options. Be sure to buy single-side adhesive ones, not double sided adhesive & also check the thickness too, there’s lots of thicknesses. Don’t want it so thick it’s a struggle to get your backdrops in & out or so thin it’s useless after a few uses

the water mark is a deterrent. Of course locking your door doesn't save you completely but it takes more energy to break down that door and people are lazy always taking the path of least resistance. If they took the time to take into photoshop for a bit, then let em have it I guess...

For artistic photos, a watermark is a good idea like a signature on a piece of art. For professional advertising photos, no watermark needed, or don't use them on services that don't want them like some Print by Demand options.

Two years late but a small watermark does more advertising than you think If I see two really good photos in different places and see the same watermark on both, my mind already starts going “This photographer is good” even if I don’t know exactly who they are
@svrwthr5 ай бұрын
That's a signature. A signature is technically a watermark and what most people think a watermark is. But it isn't, imho. I can see adding a 'watermark' with your name and/or company name/logo will help promote a person/business, if one is in the business, but other than that, that so call watermark is just a signature if there is only a single 'watermark' on the picture. It is for branding. It can still be removed. You don't need proof of someone removing the 'watermark' if the photo was stolen for personal gain. The proof may increase the end result in a civil case though. But if you have the original, taken from a camera setup up properly to embed the name/business in the exif, you have all the proof needed to win a civil copyright case. Other than self/business promotion, there is absolutely no reason to trash your good photo with a signature/watermark. Some of them look dumb anyways. I see so many novice photographers putting a signature/watermark on their photos, some are horrible photos but I am nice and give a thumbs up, and then add the dumbest, ugliest watermwark/signature like they are DaVinci. Just stop. If someone is going to steal your work, they will. Just cya (cover your a) by retaining original raw and/or jpeg that has your copyright info embedded on the originals taken from a properly setup camera body.

I do a-lot of weddings and events. If the client agrees to a certain amount of images, the images that are being proofed are all watermarked. Once they've made their final selections, I remove the watermark and send them their final gallery. So IMO watermarks are important.

How do you prove the photo is yours to get royalties from it??
@one20m018 ай бұрын
There is invisible watermarking. Where it's not visible to the human eye but it's there when you need to prove work is yours. So it can be copied, shared, even screenshotted and the invisible watermark remains. So if you were to use an image to make money off of that has an invisible watermark the person who made it has a way to prove you used the image without their permission to make money from it. And it's not something you can crop out either, because it's usually covers the whole picture.

Watermarking photos helps in two ways 1. It deters theft to a large extent. 2. It serves as a means of identity/brand recognition when your images appear in image search engines like Google. I use a tool called Mass Watermark to watermark and resize my images in bulk before uploading them online.
