What do you mean 'put watermarks'?
I know this is not my topic, sorry for invading...
But I have been thinking also about putting some of my favorite pictures somewhere...
So if you guys have other suggestions, maybe the thread maker (as long as me ofc ;) ) would benefit from your experiences...


Think of it as putting your signature on a photo of yours.

Here's what I do on my site.

No problem :P He means putting an opaque logo or text across the (usually) center of the image to make sure nobody can reuse your full-size image without permission. Ofcourse they could still do it, but they'd have an ugly watermark in it than :p I hear Flickr and Deviantart are quite popular :)

Edit* Ah. Well Veilside beat me to it :p Oh, the irony that he chose a photograph of water lol.
