I actually got trolled once for adding tags to pics.

That said, i wouldn't upload anything i would be too concerned about anyways.

Especially Suffocate Peon.

It wouldn't take much for someone to swoop in here and use them for as stock imagery for some advert or graphic design and you'd never know they were taking credit or getting paid off the back of your wonderful photos.

I thinks it's unlikely with the type of mostly grainy stuff i do ! Someone might use one for a gig poster. I got asked about that ages ago. I waited to reply because i wanted to find the original file, which was hidden away on a hard drive almost impossible to find.

I know I'm probably not at risk, but as a pleb who only uses MS Paint, watermarking isn't exactly in my skill set.

How does one do it?

Any program that uses layers and allows fade/transparency? I've seen stuff on deviantart with a huge watermark across the entire middle of their image.

You could just add text on mspaint though in the corner ?

I never got Photoshop CS working and still use Photoshop 7. Easily torrented i should think, i think everyone should have it really.

It's not worth watermarking stuff in my opinion. The chances of people stealing an image are pretty much non-existence these days. With sites like Unsplash offering people free hi-res images for commercial and non personal stuff. Stealing and image is more hassle than it's worth.

At the same time. It only seems to be poor photographers who watermark their images.

I fit into this bracket too.

This was my method of doing it, in the end though i was getting so much stick i just couldn't be arsed anymore.

You also have to create quite extensive watermarking for it not be easily corrected by someone who's going to the trouble anyway.

Regardless, just posting photos at a relatively low resolution is probably enough to limit any real use out of them.

random cat taken in Edinburgh a few years ago.

Way too noisy for my liking, but forgot my other filters and was filming earlier in the day... Nice sunset though.

The BBC News website has reported on the underwater photography competition 2019 and some of the photos are amazing.

Oof, that's a lovely shot!

Thanks buddy
