Watermarking

[Gina9942]

Not sure if this is exactly where this should go, if not please feel free to move it but I have a question. I am finally putting together an online portfolio, I am going to watermark all my images, I am just not sure where the best place to put the water mark is. Do I put an embossed light one across the faces of the people or do I put it in a corner with color? Any input is greatly appreciated.

If you're watermarking them for the web or email I would just have your copyright on the bottom left, resize to 500 x 500, 72dpi. It would look like crap if anyone tries to photoshop that, and you can't make any prints.

I stamp mine on the bottom left or right depending on the image. I would never stamp across my subject's face; that just ruins the photo imo.

I use the MCP watermark action and sample a colour from the image, reduce the opacity to 50%, and bada boom bada bing, dead easy.
