Found something interesting this morning, I was checking out my ex friends website and whoohooo, they have some of my photos on there and passing it off as their own work.
So slapping a logo and copy-write thing on my photos is obviously something I have to do now.
But would a blank layer on top of a photo work as well? If it was right clicked, in theory would they only get a blank layer?
If this was the case, would it be best to have the logo on the blank layer or underneath.

Even with the blank layer that DPC adds over the images, it's still possible to get the original (or at least a non-watermarked image) fairly easily.
Go to view -> page source and look for "img src="//images.dpchallenge.com/images_challenge/1000-1999/1317/800/Copyrighted_Image_Reuse_Prohibited_926648.jpg"... for example
The idea here is not to completely halt the ability to get this image, but just to make it a little harder for the average user.
That being said, if you really want to protect your images, an embedded watermark is probably the best way to go. If you keep any layer over the original, make it in Photohop as a layered tiff or psd.
BTW, if I need to remove that link, let me know! :-)
edit: and for the truly serious, remember to register your images with the copyright office!
