Does anyone else think the watermarked LS1 moniker and website address across the middle of the photos in ‘The Garage’ section detracts from the cars?
I understand the use of watermarks in copyright situations so could someone help me understand why the LS1 forum would need to mark members’ photos and ruin them in the process?
It does seem a bit annoying, but i think its only new, i dont remember it being there when i uploaded my pics to the garage.
Cheers

Would it make it harder for scammers to copy the photos to falsley advertise cars?
id like to see how much a scammer could sell my car for...
No you would not...:lol:Quote:

they are just trying to suck people into sending them money. :lol:
They actually copy pictures from internet sites like this one .;)
and if anyone is foolish enough to pay for goods before seeing them then they dont deserve their $$$ in the first place!Quote:

It has to do with images HOSTED on the server ... we are not altering your original image only the image served from the forum server.. this serves many purposes and a simple google search for reasons behind watermarking images will give you a fair idea .. :) The watermark is meant to be a unobtrusive as possible.
Oh also the Garage will ultimately replace the My Ride section .. :p
I think it detracts from the car and looks really average. As these are our pics we are uploading I really can't see why LS!.COM.AU nee to put their stamp on our pics.Quote:

Because the images are hosted on the forum server .. simple..Quote:

All the watermarks on my car are currently at the bottom of the pics and don't obscure the car at all, :). Maybe it has to do with the size of the pic where the watermark appears?
Looks much better now the watermark is at the bottom rather than the center. Cheers.
I moved the watermark to the bottom to see how it looks :D Seems to be the preferred location so will leave it at the bottom :D
