What is the watermarked and pixelated photos or videos?my hub is in the reviewed mod due to them.
I have read that watermarked (where the watermark is visible on the image) are not really to be used, as they are copyrighted, I believe, and pixelated means low quality. You should switch those out for legal images or better quality ones that are allowed.
How do I find photos that are not copyrighted or watermarked? All of them on the internet seem to be this way. The ones online that are on a non watermarked site have watermarks on them. I don't understand. My 'animal' article has everything cited.
A watermarked photo is a copyrighted photo, usually from a stock photo company. While they may be "published" online, they are published with the watermark. If you want a copy of the stock photo without the watermark, you have to purchase it from the company. What you're really purchasing is a contract for the rights to reuse that photo, with specific conditions itemized in the contract. Using watermarked photos is, basically, using someone elses copyrighted work without their permission.
Pixelated photos are are poor images taken on a digital camera, something like grainy photos taken on a film camera. Usually, though, in the case of digital photos, the pixilation appears because the photo has been cropped and enlarged too much. This produces a really poor image. In this case, taking another photo or zooming back out on the original photo may solve the problem.
A watermark is a symbol of some kind that is on the photograph itself. People put them on their photographs so that others can't use them. It's no big deal, just look carefully at each of your photos, and remove the ones where you see something funny. Keep on hubbing

I'm aware that many people who have take their own photos and added them to hubs have been unhappy about the "No watermarks" rule on Hubpages.There is a simple way around this - that should both protect your content, increase your traffic and not break the rules.Create a MADE FOR...

HubPages is very firm in their rule to only use photos for which you have permission to use. Hypothetically, what happens if you break this rule? I've seen many people using images that are clearly not theirs to use and I was just wondering if this affects them in any way...

Watermark is another new term for me. If a person puts their web address on a photo, is it a watermark. I have permission from someone to use their photos but their website address is on them. Didn't know if I could use them. Some day I may be as smart as some of you....Thanks.
