Any watermark that can't be removed or cropped off, annoys the viewer
and ruins the image. Any digital watermark that's hidden in the image
can be stripped out. But, just ask Dave Brooks, if watermarks actually
discourage theft.

With recent discussion about pictures getting taken by unscrupulous
individuals and passed off as their own, or being used in part of an image
etc, what is the view of watermarking images that are posted by folk here?
The views I've read seem to vary; those in the 'no' camp because you should
only be displaying a low res image and that a watermark distracts your eye.
The 'yes' camp are equally persuasive in that it immediately tells someone
that it is owned and who by.
I'm starting to take more pictures again and I think it's about time I had
my own account again somewhere, and I'm trying to work out which way I want
to go with watermarking images. I can't say that looking at those with
watermarks gives me any problems or distracts from what I should be looking
at.
Is there a right or wrong or simply a choice?
