Title: Horribly bad watermark
Post by: Noedelhap on March 10, 2013, 17:07

123RF, your watermark hardly protects our images. One small logo in the middle of the image is not enough, because in some cases, it doesn't even touch the image content.

Please consider extending you watermark to the corners of the image, or create some kind of repeating logo pattern.

Example of bad watermarking:

Sadly this is a common issue at many stock sites. 123RF is just one of many companies who give zero consideration to vector images when it comes to watermarking.

PLEASE 123RF! Your watermark is insufficient.

I just did a Google image search on ONE of my images and found at least a dozen places using it on their sites with the 123RF watermark still on it.

This page has two of my images, watermark intact: http://www.nvhf.org/Indoor-Practice-Facility.html (http://www.nvhf.org/Indoor-Practice-Facility.html)

Something more obvious, maybe even obnoxious, will prevent theft and possibly increase sales.

Wow! You can hardly see the watermark!
