Yet another watermark question

M38A1

I'm not an award winning photographer, but would still like to protect my shots as best I can. That said, I upgraded to the Power account allowing me to disable right-click/save as as well as limiting the size of the picture in display and linking externally. However, if I enable links so I can post in various forums, you can still do the right-click/save as from that site and get the image in lower resolution, but still it's the image.

By upgrading to the Pro account, I understand I can put a watermark on my images. Will the watermark display on external forums where I have grabbed a link from smugmug? And if so, if the user does a right-click/save as, do they get the watermark on that version?

Short of putting copyright info on every pic intended to display on external forums, how do you protect the images and is the watermark in the Pro account the best way?

Thanks....

You should understand the protection available (or not available). Please see ORIGINALS = a gateway to free photos, & right click protection is NOT PROTECTION.

Head on over to http://smugmug.uservoice.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/367300-offer-watermarks-and-individual-features-separate and vote for the ability to add Watermarks to images without having to purchase a Pro account. If we get enough people voting for it, maybe they will add it in as an option!
