I was just thinking (because I had the need to add one) that it'd be nifty if Rendo' had a copyright logo watermark option button in the uploads facility that we could embed on our pictures if we felt the need.

Deviantart.com has this option and just places a watermark faded-grey deviantart logo over the top of your picture along with your username and (c) mark. It's not all that intrusive overall. Makes it harder to rip off that way though someone with good photoshop skills could still do it if they were determined and had the time.

Of course I could go and create something for myself from scratch and just do it in photoshop, but I couldn't be narfed and so after I added to my upload on deviantart, I just copied the resulting picture and used that here... kinda looks odd here though

cheers

Thanks for the suggestion, Sean. We'll give that some thought.

yeah, it might work.  like if the artist's image is the bg-image in a table cell,
with a transparent gif floatover with their logo.

That's not much of an impediment to grabbing the image.
What I think the OP was suggesting was watermarking the gallery images before they're served to the web.

technically, yes, noel, but bear in mind that most of those tubers'd never figure it out. 
however, I would also be in favour of adding the logo to the image.  most tubers would
never be able to photoshop it out.

Just be aware that I intended the logo watermark to be an OPTIONAL feature, like on deviantart. If you don't want it on there, you don't have to have it.
