Watermarks - pros & cons?

[dtokez]

Just wondering about watermarking. A lot of people do add them, but more seem to choose not too. Personally I did do some before uploading to flickr but then kind of forgot.

Interested to hear views on them, is there any advantage of using them - copyrighting etc?

Would like to see examples from you guys if you use one - please post them

That's true, I guess unless the watermark is hard to remove it cant really be much help with copyrighting.

I don't mind them if they are not too obtrusive and in a corner somewhere - what do you guys think?

some good points here people. I think I might start adding a really small one, the hard thing is to get it right first time for consistency lol

Yeah some people annoy me on Facebook etc, they don't care about image quality etc and just post it up, spoiling the hard work of the photographer!
