Default Dodge Forum pic jacking

Here's one I jacked from this site. Notice the watermark is now gone:








I think this way would be more effective:







In the second pic, the watermark is less intrusive yet more effective (because it's all over the pic). Thoughts?

How long did it take to do one pic? Also, it could come up a bit darker on some parts. Looks good

How long did it take to put the watermark in the second pic? Just a few minutes, I had to create the watermark from scratch. Subsequent pics would have taken just a few seconds.

I know what you mean about it could be darker in some parts, but that's the beauty of keeping the opacity one level - it doesn't overwhelm the entire picture because some areas will hide it. You still get the point across, that the pic belongs to www.dodgeforum.com, because some areas will show it better.

I don't see any watermarks in the second pic?

I use AIS Watermarking Pictures Protector to watermark...

OOooh, I do see it, VERY small...

It's my first time watermarking so I'll do better next time.

Hi Amanda,

It's not my intent (nor my place) to criticize the watermark. I read another member's complaint about the existing watermark, the big black letters on the pics, and was merely making a suggestion that would maintain your goal of watermarking but without obscuring the pic in such an obvious way so as to detract from it.

I'm not familiar with the program you mentioned.

Eric

I used a light grey, I wonder if it showed darker on his computer...

Anyway, I'll do better next time. THANKS!

It showed up more like BLACK when I saw it.

I just d/l your program, I'll test it out.

Okay, I see how it works. It does the same thing that I did in Photoshop - added a layer with an adjustable opacity.

The pictures that I saw just had the big black letters "www.dodgeforum.com" on the cars. Try raising the "levels" (upper right-hand side in the program) to something like 200 so it'll fade it out some.

Wait a minute, I think we were talking about two different things. I just browsed another set of pics that were done in the grey you talked about and they look good. The one I was talking about looked like this:



Sorry for the confusion!
