Is it to protect your photos while being online? If so, your watermark won't do that. You have it in a location that is easily cropped out. I suggest you make it large and over the center of your photo. This is so anyone wanting to steal and use it for their own purposes (or sell it as microstock) has to do a bit of work to try and clone/heal out your watermark. But overall I think your font is too fancy and a little difficult to read. P.S. your hdr attempt needs some work. There is haloing around your buildings. Co-sign. Christian

Apr 19, 2009 15:48 | #14 SkipD wrote in post #7762049 What do you call "effective"? If you are merely trying to advertise yourself, it works. However, if you are trying to prevent folks from stealing and publishing your work (the usual reason for a "watermark"), it does not work at all because of the positioning. The "watermark" needs to cross over a lot of the primary elements in the subject so that folks cannot just clone it out easily. yea, I'm trying to prevent folks from stealing them. a heavy traffic (100k month) chicago travel site wants to show my photos in a photo gallery section. I'm not charging him for the photos in return for a promise to promote my site. (photography is just a hobby of mine anyway, profit is not my #1 concern).
