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.

With the rise of AI, how are you protecting your images? Especially if AI can just remove your watermark? (alien.top)

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?

Watermarks have been easy to remove for a long time now.

If someone really wants to steal your image they will and there isn’t anything high can do to prevent it other than never let anyone see your images, which defeats the point of taking photos in the first place.
