[QUOTE="scottyk617, post: 555341, member: 39159"] I'm with the village idiot on this one, I do some function photography, we sometimes use smugmug to do online proofing, and I use it to host my own galleries. now some of the shots are personal and they are in locked galleries. but think of the portrait photographer who relies on print sales to feed his family (such as the guy I work for) If someone downloads an image and its not watermarked then they can print it themselves on an inkjet, not everyone wants high quality! thats money down the drain for a pro, hence why hardly anyone will give you a CD of images, or if they do, they will be watermarked. (as it is I have seen loads of people on facebook et al with my images as their profile pics, blatant scans/ downloads, but its small stuff) bit of a ramblng post but hey its boxing day! [/QUOTE]
