Rather than deal with watermarks, why not just have an editable header, down near the Gallery version, with something like:

All images (c) The Author, 2004.

It'd be so easy, and so useful.... to me

You can add that text to your album and gallery footers if you so choose...

The reason that watermarks are so important is that a copyright notice does not prevent people from stealing images. I can yell "copyright" to my heart's content, but if someone takes the image, there's little I can do. If I watermark it, they're not going to want to use it for much because it has my markings all over it.

It still might be a nice option to add to the config system for both G1 and G2. Yes watermarking is very important, no question about it.

I know this is an old issue, but I just wanted to throw my two cents in. I think it would be great to have a copyright string you can set in the admin that gets displayed on every page. I'm off to figure out what file I need to edit to add this staticly for now...

Where is /html_wrap/gallery.footer.default located in Gallery2?

Not in G2.
You would need to edit the template file of the theme you are using.

That's all well and good, but that modification is for G2 and this thread is for G1.

Is there an easy way to move it. I just went searching and hit upon this. Sorry, I should have read more carefully.

No, you can copy your post and post it somewhere else or create a new thread and edit this one to refer to that post/thread.
