    for those of you who create graphic tutorials do you watermark the images you use for the tutorial, this is considering that you post the tutorial on your site.

    I think it is best to watermark the final design in the tutorial.
    Anyone can take it and state they've done it.

    But the watermark should be faded, so it doesn't distract the final design.

    yes its not a bad idea to have small watermark at the bottom right of the screenshot (url of your site).

    I'd say go with both of those ideas ... in your final version have a faded watermark somewhere in the middle of the image ... and a bolder version in the bottom right ... so if someone crops the bottom off you still have it marked :)
