Anti picture theft

[ForgedReclaimer]

I saw something go down in an thread not long ago. Thankfully it seems to be resolved but the truth is it will happen again and could be worse.

Quick tip for people who post pictures of what they build. If you don't want people thieving pictures, claiming its their work on other sites or using it in some sort of Ebay ripoff sale. I gathered some links to places that can put Water marks on pictures to prevent such things.

Of course you will have a watermark overlapping your work, but it wont take away from it.

do they have to go through the middle of the picture?

No, but if you put them near the edge, somebody can just chop off that edge to get a watermark-free picture.

Thanks for the heads-up. Better start doing with future images then.

And try placing the watermark as appropriate, some thieves can go out of their way to Photoshop out the watermark, I know this as being a Graphics designer myself.

Curious... A link to the ripped off photos and to the original location/owner may help identify if that person is a member here... That would be something I would be interested in finding out.
