Title: Anyone notice that 123rf change the "preview" images which free to save

Anyone notice that 123rf change the "preview" images in the selling page?

You need to click the magnifying glass icon on the thumbnail to see your preview, but you can view a VERY large preview size by right-click and select "view image" on your browser.

And this image is "Free to right-click save" by anyone especially thieves!! Because the watermark doesn't cover many important part of the image.

123rf is implementing what SS just done.

123RF had that function for some time now. SS is following 123RF. Nevertheless, watermarks in 123RF are intenser and preview images are slightly smaller (1300px<1500px) compared to SS.

:(

If this was a shop and it was THEIR goods which were being stolen, I fancy they would all take more care.

What do you think of the 123rf preview/ watermark? For me, it's better than SS but on some images you really have to search "where is the watermark".
They're those with textured background, like forest, fabric, brown, green, grey middle shades. They too offer a large preview 1300*866, and you can save the image.

I think the 123RF watermark is a lot stronger than Shutterstock's watermark. Perhaps for textures, it will be less effective, but it's sufficient for my images.
