Title: Fotolia's Free Comp Image?
Post by: angelawaye on November 12, 2015, 10:44: Hi everyone,

Is anyone bothered that FT offers a free comp image with no watermark?

Mine looks pretty clear too:

Post by: angelawaye on November 12, 2015, 10:56: The quality looks pretty good to me - looks like a perfect "web-use" image ...

I see a watermark.

So do I. It's right in the middle of the image, across the guy's chin.

Post by: Jo Ann Snover on November 12, 2015, 12:01: I see the watermark in Firefox, Chrome and Safari (Mac)

It's also a very small preview (what used to be typical, around 450 to 500 pixels on the long edge), so the need for an all over design really isn't there.

Yes I see it in Firefox on mac too. That IS odd that you aren't seeing it.

Post by: banna on November 12, 2015, 16:33: I can see a watermark at firefox, edge and IE. I do not think the watermark is generated dynamic. Watermark surely added while uploading.

I see a watermark on Windows Firefox. Do you mind showing us a screen capture of what you see in your Firefox?
