General Stock Discussion / watermarks on fotolia comping size images
« on: January 28, 2009, 04:57 »
recently found a website called snaparazzi.eu that is a long time partner of fotolia and offer the 4.8m fotolia images for sending to mobile phones with a small payment. i am all for this as its another income generator for fotolia and its submitters. what i am concerned about is that when you click on the send to mobile phone button a 512 pixel unwatermark image comping image appears this is very easily saved to your hard drive by right clicking the unwatermarked image and saving the background image.
i posted my concerns about this in the fotolia forum and to cut a long story short the post was locked by the moderator.
my question to you guys, is a 512 pixel image usable for web use and should i be concerned that these comping images are so easy to download and use without needing to sign up for an account at either snaparazzi or fotolia and have no right click protection.
do other stock libraries add watermarks to comping images?
is there any sort of industry standard size for unwatermarked images or why cant fotolia just add a small watermark to comping images?
would really appreciate any advice on this.
