Lowes at least will be getting some much deserved negative feedback about this. Perhaps whoever designs the shirts -in China - just ripped an appropriate image after they were told ideas to create etc. No excuse though.
I watermark EVERYTHING I show online (unless it's bad  ) and every photo I sell. My wedding shots get a watermark at 20% opacity (JUST see it), as do my portraits. I worked for 2 fashion labels last year at Melbourne Cup, and watermarked all images. Someone ripped one of the images, and tried posting it as theirs on Facebook... MOMENTARILY. |
You watermark the final wedding photos that you sell to your wedding clients??
