I would think the watermark would be enough. Until you figure out how to display your pics It just looks like a business to me. For Sale forum.

Unfortunately what you think isn't correct; watermarking images isn't enough to prevent people from stealing photos Chopola. There is a huge issue with photographers getting taken advantage of and not getting paid in the surfing industry. In the meantime however, we will change the catalog permissions so that a user doesn't have to subscribe to purchase/social share, until we fix the issue surrounding out of focus images on the thumbnails that people can see for free, and add more information as to what people get in their subscription. Thank you

Watermark the word "kook" all over the photo, not just in one of the corners. Are there software out there that removes watermarks? BTW, I follow your page on FB, great pics

lol thank you Seaspray

Swiping imagery is a huge problem and, as best I can tell, rawsurf's precautions are pretty much essential. Some do sell photos via Instagram-size images, but that tends to be prolific daily/weekly output and I bet such people may be keeping the very best somewhat out of sight. I should have an interesting night surf photo calendar showing up in a few days. Will do a review if it's good.
