That's wonderful.
Watermarking pho...I did not! That's wonderful.<br /><br />Watermarking photos is definitely for the best. You don't want to totally cover the subject - I've seen quite a few museums on PastPerfect Online (which lets you create the mark and then automatically puts it on everything for you, very nice) put the watermark right across the center, and I think that's a mistake as well. You want the picture to be shareable on Pinterest and Tumblr, so that people find out about what's in your collection, you just don't want the source to be too easily lost.<br /><br />Technically, somebody could crop out the watermark I went with, but source-losing is usually about moving quickly rather than a deliberate attempt to obscure, so I felt that putting it low and out of the way was a good decision..Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596345781746342408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848073453811666225.post-82005691499849379482014-03-12T08:55:26.822-04:002014-03-12T08:55:26.822-04:00This is a great resource, thank you for sharing. D...This is a great resource, thank you for sharing. Did you hear that the Hotel Saranac was finally sold and will be restored? So exciting.<br />I'm curious, what's your opinion of water marking photos? I'm trying to convince my historical society to do this with our photos that go online. With sites like Pinterest it's so easy for source information to get lost. I know there are pros and cons but I'm finding it rather frustrating as the only trustee with any museum experience...<br />-Emily vintagevisions27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16769861744181538664noreply@blogger.com
