A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Just a random thought for the morning.

Watermarks used to be the way to go, to stop people from just taking your images and using them however they want. They’re also used to send sample images and then ask for payment.

With AI advancing, it’s very likely going to get easier for the layperson to click a button and have AI remove your watermark.

How do you plan to safeguard against this?

I use watermarks not as a way of theft prevention, but it just means if photos are shared then viewers still know who took the photo. I don't care if people share any pictures I put online, cos they're always naff res compared to the original

For that, wouldn't it be nicer to have a margin at the bottom and put name there instead of ruining the picture? Unless you have a very nice looking autograph.
