Unique content is the thing that can be rarely found today. If you have a photo-heavy website and all pictures are yours, you would like to forfend them from illegal use. In this case you can use various extensions produced specifically for WordPress, they allow adding watermarks to your images, or copyright symbols.
Nevertheless watermark has never been a problem for an advanced Photoshop user. No matter how large Watermark symbols are they can be removed within several minutes, transparency of the whole image will deliver more difficulties for the “attacker”.
Into this blog post we’ve included WordPress Watermark Plugins that will protect your property from infringements. Feel free to use them.

This extension adds cropping, resizing, and rotating functionality to WordPress image uploader. Scissors also allow to resize automatically images when they are uploaded and supports automatic and manual watermarking of images. Additionally, images that are resized in the post editor are automatically resampled to the requested size using bilinear filtering when a post is saved, which improves the perceived image quality while reducing the amount of data transferred at the same time.

This overload the bandwidth of your website without bringing any visitor. This plugin transform this inconvenience into advantage by allowing you to display a link to your image on these images.
