Watermark Issues

sometime back members demanded for watermark to protect ktalk pics but now there is an outcry about the watermark issue. so would like to to ask for your opinion if we should do away with the watermark or if it should stay what improvements/changes should we make to it

Should be optional for original photos only and should be somewhere in the middle to avoid people cropping it out.

My 2 cents:

  1. Give the uploader the option of adding a watermark or not at the point of uploading. This option can be a very simple button box or check box.

  2. Make the watermark be those semi-conspicuous translucent type designs kama hio ya @kush yule mnono and it should appear at the centre of the image to avoid cropping as suggested by @Unicorn

just do away with the whole watermark thing altogether, after all 99% of all the images uploaded here are not originals

@Deorro, go to Adobe illustrator, open a new file, choose the text tool, choose your preferred font, select the size, choose the color, then type KenyaTalk. Com. Select the text then go to the transparency tool , select a transparency of 30% save file and voila! You have a watermark…
N. B all this should be done on a transparent background. Ukishindwa Mpesa lunch i do it for you . it takes less than 10 minutes sijui hii mambo ya one week inatoka wapi smh

I suspect none of the moderators are conversant with graphics /web software… Manki nikararua ndizi tu, @Mundu Mulosi naye kungoja Kuku iive akikwarusa kitambi na mkebe ya busaa while @Deorro na @Electronics4u kuhawk memory card ndio zao. Which is a shame because in order to manage a website well one of the mods needs to have a grasp of the above. This is very basic stuff
