cant you put something across the photos like they do on istock , i like to put photos on the site one day but people like them put me off !!B#"*&$"#ds!!!!

erm?.... it that what watermark means ?lol bit thick am i !

Yes - that is a watermark

I have had someone whittling at me because I have watermarks on my DA gallery pics Actually K, tis someone with mals who watches you They really want me to remove the watermark but I said no ..people can see the image through it anyway and the small version doesn;t have one ..

Yeah like your that daft!!
Just point out that if they would like the image without the watermark, they always have he option to purchase

Just been reading this thread and im gobsmacked that someone would nick anothers image to claim as their own.I cant see the point to be honest cause like sports men/women who take performance enhancing drugs-the only person their deceiving is themselves.

I thought that people like us take photos because its something we enjoy doing so whats the point of being dishonest?God,i must be so naive with photography!

RBH Steve i think it was a genuine mistake on their part as another on there has now been changed too, but yes there are some very decietful people out there, this is why all my images now get tagged with my logo.

I dont blame you tagging your photos cause they really are fantastic! I still cannot understand why someone would claim a picture as their own though because you yourself would know it was never your talent.I honestly never would have thought people did this until i read this thread!

Thankyou

Unfortunatly its quite a commo problem, people also take images fr personal use to without permissin, its just one of those things.
