Hi Gail,
There is a lot of see-sawing opinions about watermarking. Some Fine Art Galleries and Exhibitions don't allow watermarking, they say it turns off collectors..  But I've seen these past 5-10 yrs that there has been a shift towards watermarking. Some organizations insist on it now.  I believe it has become a necessity.  Artwork can be copied via screenshots so not metadata can be attached, and theft seems a bit more rampant nowadays.  I can't say I like to look at artwork with a watermark plastered over the good part, but I do it regardless. When a collector contacts me, they don't usually ask for a non-watermarked large version so they can see detail.  

My 2.5 cents,
Linda

Hi - Does anyone out there use Adobe's Behance? I have a few images there, but I am concerned about watermarking. It appears that no one else uses any kind of watermarking, and you really need to upload high-resolution images for them to look decent on the website. Do people just not worry about this anymore or...??
