Watermarking your Sig's Options

[little old man]

I used Solidrockers latest Sig to try this out.Now this is with a program I use called Photo impact pro 8.5.If you want I will look into the other programs to see if I can get it with them.

Using Solid's design I thought it would be nice to try something different. For example caution tape



What do you think?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Keep in mind also that a lot of people who will steal sigs are half-ass designers themselves. That means that they know how to use the clone stamp tool to get rid of the watermark for the most part. The clone stamp tool allows you to select a "source point." You then brush over what you don't want, and it replaces that area with a duplicate of the area by the source point. For example, it would be easy to get rid of scarface's.... all you'd have to do is just put another copy of the render on top of the current one, use the clone stamp tool to erase the caution tape and font, and put a new name on it. I could give you a demonstration of how it works, but I'm too lazy

Granted, most won't take the time to do it, but when you make a watermark, try to put it in an area that would be hard to duplicate from another area on the sig.

Regardless of Frosty's knowledge. I still think the caution tap looks cool.

If you know what you are doing you can take out and fix anything you want. But as you said so yourself, people who steal sigs are not very talented in this area.

In the end, I think this "caution tape" is enough to keep talentless "half-ass designers" at bay. And if some one who knows what they are doing wants to steal it and use it for himself, so be it. There isn't much I can do about that.
