It looks good, professional and unobtrusive. I take it that the colour can change to make it viewable regardless of background?

Yup. Can have it whatever colour I like :D
Thanks :thumbs:
I like the watermark, I think images do need some kind of 'stamp' to show the world who was behind the image. Afterall, even if it's a 800px 72dpi image on a forum, someone may still try to pass it off as theirs. At least a name on the photo may deter some people from 'taking it' without consent.

:thumbs: Thank you.
Yeah plus it also make me look like I know what i am doing :lol:
Glad you like it Matt, I noticed you've changed the colours slightly, looks good. The reason I gave it several shades was in the hope that you wouldnt need to change the colour for different photo's.
Glad your happy though. :D

Did you not get my email? Photoshop made it very overexposed and wouldnt let me use your colour :( I relaly liked it the way you did it!!
Thanks for doing it for me. I will post another shot with how it was once I got the font working.
*Seems I cant find it now :(*

This is the colour it is meant to be before my PS screwed it up.

Its not meant to be the colour in the OP.
Looking at them both on the same screen I think the one you've got looks better lol
Nice and formal ( professional) without being too formal if you see what I mean.
Personally I do think its a little large, though, but thats only my opinion :thumbs:

I like the first watermark (and the pics, as always;) ) but I hate borders on pics:gag:
Will it not be a bit too big for some shots?

I like the border. Makes it 'pop' from the page.
I am glad you like my pictures and watermark. Its nice to know people like my shots :D

I just adjust the size then :) Its set as a brush so I can make it as big or as small as I like :D

Not for me, I feel it detracts from the image. If a picture is strong enough then it doesn't need any fancy additions to make it "pop" ;)

Indeed. The logo is a bit big.
Thinking about it more, the logo is too big (imo). For the simple reason that the logo is larger than the actual subject in the photo

Having had watermarked photos stolen, then used shrunk down so the watermark couldn't be read, I think it is better to have a slightly "too big" water mark.

I like the watermark. I do think its maybe a little big but its just personal preference I guess.
I'm not so sure about the border, I processed a batch of motorsport shot's and they didn't look anywhere near as good with the border.
If I had a photograph of a bird or something then I find the border works.
bit to large if im honest mate as it looks like theres 2 places to focus

The smaller one.

That's better
Maybe still try it a tad smaller. Maybe as wide as the 'ATT SAYLE' part of the above or even 'TT SAYLE', so like 85% smaller or 70% smaller

That would crop out sooooo easily and still leave you with a half decent picture...

Unless you put a really complex watermark across the center of the image then they are fairly easy to remove.
