Watermark on low-res images for clients

<p>Hi, Just wondering what are your thoughts on including a small watermark on low-res images (web use) that will be given to clients?<br>

I am including low-res images as part of my photo package.<br>

The high-res for prints will not have watermark of course since this is a separate product item.</p>

<p>If a client pays for an image, I do not watermark the image, large or small, high rez or low. If it's a TFCD trade, the images are all watermarked.</p>

<p>I feel that if they are paying money for your service, they should not have to do your advertising for you.</p>

<p>I<strong> always</strong> include a license agreement that stipulates what they can and cannot do with the images, so I'm not too concerned about misappropriation.</p>

<p>Agreed with Charles. If the images are paid for, no watermarks, and the license spells out what they can and can't do with the images.</p>

<p>OK got it. Makes perfect sense. I do and always include T&A on all deliverable.</p>

<p>I would agree with Charles. Right now all of my work has been TFCD so I do include a watermark on the web-sized files. Nothing on the full-size files however. They also get a license agreement from me as well.</p>

<p>If it were a paying client, I don't think I would include one (watermark) on the web-sized files.</p>

<p>The only watermarks I have ever put on a client's images have been the clients' company names when they've requested it.</p>
