Hello,

Into the Premium Membership, i see that's not possible to have an automatic watermark on portfolio... that would be great if you could give this as an option. Use the same watermark than in deviantart is not a problem. be able to customize the automatic watermark in both (deviantart gallery and portfolio) when we are premium would be an other step an very great.

I don't think using deviantART as a professional portfolio is exactly advised in the first place. Even if you were given that option, I'd consider finding a different route instead.

I don't think people looking at your work would be impressed by a big ugly watermark messing up the image. If they can't see it properly, they aren't going to look.

Yes, I'd say it's pretty unprofessional.

Unless you plan on publishing works with the watermark on it.

the question is not to get advice but just to ask an option when we pay for a premium membership... after everybody is free to use it or not ;-)

I hear it isn't considered professional to have your portfolio items watermarked. You should doublecheck, though.

everybody steal photos, so i prefer to have a watermark than someone take the photo and uses it free... and there is no protection into the portfolio against unauthorized downloads. i know that's better to show without watermark but not online ;-)

Here i just ask it as an option, so users make their choice.
