I think watermarking is important and Evelyn I am sorry you had your pictures stolen. But I do want to play devil’s advocate here. As a graphic designer who is pretty good with photoshop I will say that watermarking will not totally stop someone from stealing.
I am pretty good at taking watermarks out of pictures. I will say this. Don’t just put your watermark anywhere. Put it where it is really hard to duplicate the area. It may make the image hard to see but this will be the only place someone will not be able to take the watermark out without it being noticed.
