Greetings: What a marvelous idea about the Copy right. Can it be done with the 3 pieces I already have uploaded? Thanks. Anna

Original Post: New Watermark Feature

ArtWanted.com is testing a new feature that has been requested by many of our members… Instant Image Watermarks!

This new system will add an optional watermark to the images that you upload to your ArtWanted.com portfolio automatically. This feature is available to both free and Premium members. We now offer 4 types of watermarks:

• ArtWanted.com Logo (long version)
• ArtWanted.com Logo 2 (square version)
• Large Copyright Symbol
• Custom Watermark Text (you type what you want on the image)

The semi-transparent watermarks are designed with both light & dark areas, so they will be seen with lighter or darker images.

We have made this feature live on the upload page and are now beta testing this with our users. You will see the options to select the watermark type and also the choose where to position the watermark on the image.

NOTE: The watermark will only appear on the larger image in your portfolio (not the thumbnails) and will NOT be posted on the high-resolution images that would be used for Premium print-on-demand program.

Watermarking your images provides an additional layer of protection to reduce image theft and it's also useful for self-promotion.

We want your feedback! Please try out the new watermark feature on your next image upload and let us know what you think. Tell us if you have any problem or have any suggestions on how it can be improved. Please post your comments by replying to this message.

UPDATE 4/14/2012: Good news! We have just added some additional features to the watermarks. You can now change the watermark image, reposition the watermark or completely remove the watermark from your images. NOTE: These new features are only available for NEW images that are uploaded and watermarked from 4/12/12 going forward.

Enjoy!
