Why you should not use Watermark

[@jmitchvision]

I do use the small one in the corner but you are right if someone wants to just wipe that out or crop they can. I don’t do it for that reason I just like the style of it. I totally agree with you. Just make it a smaller size and sign it when it framed and truly printed.. I’m with you brother!! Thank you for all you do!! GOD bless!!

Copyright reserved: Since 1981, I have always rubber stamped the back of my B/W photos back B4 Google was born. Now I just mark them, I did a Grammy Award Winning Album cover back in the 90's and I would be very upset "if" the record company forgot to add my photo credit. After i'm dead and gone the world won't get it twisted and wonder who was the photographer that captured an historical photograph. Everything I make with my hands, I mark as I pass thru LIFE. Nice video....

I also looked for "should I watermark my videos" for the promotion purpose. In fact it is the only video on youtube which its title really fit my search. I appreciate your comment suggesting that "if we want to watermark so when it is shared people can still see who has take the image, do it in a slick way", but I would like to have some more thoughts about the benefits and drawbacks of using watermarks for promotion. Many times people watch a video and are not really aware of the provider, so it is an effective way to make the people know about, especially if it's a brand or a person as a brand like a content creator. But I don't see many creators using them. Maybe there is a reaon for that. I suspect that if creator is at the center of the video, and on top of that present itself, the watermark is not useful. But if there is a lack of information aboutthe creator and people do not really care who has done it, for example landscape images, versus a drawing where people really would like to seewho has done it, then the watermark may be very useful I think Linux tip tech had some times ago a watermark and now don't use it anymore, I should double check that. Anyway thanks for the video ,

Thanks for the video! 👏It would be great to learn more about ways to add metadata to the photos and videos.

Noted! We can Mayne make a quick video about it!

​@@HiddenLightthat would be awesome!

Watermark or no watermark? What difference does it make? Most of those I would take legal action against might have what - a cereal box to their name, perhaps? It's not going to be worth my while, so the watermark stays on!

[@HiddenLight]

Matter of point of view.

[@dantecooper4705]

I just question if it helps bring in customers. It’s the only reason I see it being necessary, if it works as advertising at the same time when people share it to their profiles

[@twosaudiovisual]

Same here. That's my idea of having it, for brand recognition.

Nice piece - I am an assigned and paid pro sports photog - since the $$ is deposited the client owns the file - the "exposure" is welcome [bad pun] for said "pirates"

[@AbdulQadirKhan]

he hates watermarking so we stop doing this - what is he a GOD or something lol

[@WerewolfMaster]
