Title: Legal Name on Shutterstock Preview
Post by: angelawaye on March 02, 2020, 11:16
Has anyone noticed that Shutterstock's watermark preview has your legal name on the image?
You have to click on the image for the enlargement to see ...

Is this new? Why don't they use your username? I like to go by my username for my stock business.

Only my username is visible here. This was tested on three different computer and results were always the same. Have you modified something on your account's settings lately?

After reading what you said I checked because I had just noticed that ss licensed a really old one from 2009 today - it has my real name, then checked a new one and it only has shutterstock.  Weird.

Mine doesn't, must be something in the settings?

I wanted to check old vs new images. Nope, I went back to the beginning of time, checked ten images, all had artist name, not my real name. Checked 2009, nope, all artists name.

Good Luck
