would have been safer and better if you uploaded it like this.
FYI the same method used to display your original watermark eased of a little bit and your watermark would not be visible at all.
take that slight adjustment save the image and live trace it then voila someone maybe someone not the OP but another so called designer can easily steal your work and claim it as their own and sell it on all because you have not really watermarked sufficiently.
The watermarks are not just designed to stop people from saving it anyone with a half decent amount of skill in any graphical program can copy images and recreate designs but it is a stamp that shows ownership of the design so if someone further down the line steals your design you can then say hey look I designed this 6 months ago and pove it with your watermarked image online.
New copyright internet laws despite how unfair they are and despite how many people argue them a reasonable attempt has to be made to trace back the original designer/image owner etc source
If it can not be traced back to the original owner then they can pretty much do what they want with the images.
Still a gray area but a high profile case is going on now regarding someone posting their art online and a film company has pretty much stolen it due to lack of watermarks on the actual image or copyright info the artist has lost his case.
