I just stick a new layer in, type (C) Rob Vaughan into it and then reduce opacity to about 60% and give the layer a beveled style or something to make it stand out.
I probably could store is as some kind of a action, but for the sake of about 20seconds and the amount of times I do it it's not worth it.

Hmm - there does seem to be a fine line between making the watermark intrusive enough to make it difficult for people to steal your images, and for the image to still be viewable.
Does having a big @ symbol covering the image put people off?
Then again - if the images are only 600-700px wide and compressed to "websize", then I doubt there is much point in someone spending more than a few minutes to remove the logo, so maybe simple a simple "@Joe Bloggs" at the bottom is sufficient.

True - once resized and also taken from 300dpi to 72dpi resolution, print quality decreases dramatically and is virtually impossible to recreate. The resolution is good enough for peoiple to view on screen and order from and you can kepe the hires originals to make prints from.

My view precisely, there are plenty of images on the net you can steal if you so wish, but getting hold of a printable version is usually impossible. If were to hold a stock of large images that I were to sell then I'd put an obtrusive watermark right in the middle, but most of my stuff is purely for pleasure.
The (c) and my name are there to a) try to get the viewer to honour the copyright and b) to make sure people who see the shot know where they can go to if they want a larger version or more of the same..

Changing the "resolution" means nothing in terms of the detail/quality of an image. A 700x600 pixel image only has 700x600 pixels worth of information in it. 300dpi or 72dpi is only a hint to the preferred printing size.

Ah OK I see, becomes clearer. Ta

Not quite ready for prime time, yet. I'm still in the configuration stages so have it in a beta mode that is not in DNS. It's going to be a full blown CMS so that I don't have to waste my time hand coding everything (no more a href bla bla bla stuff).
Will let everyone know when it is ready. I'm getting some news feeds (Lotus) and pricing guide feeds from PH and integrating them as content on the site. Sweet.
Also will have a private area for PHers only. (Content will include stuff like "what to do in Central Florida on your vacation" - with seperate sections for singles and marrieds )
