Hello from M-VAPES new uk based vaping equipment and accessories

[matt-lmr]

It has been brought to our attention that there are some sellers on ebay copying m-vapes pictures and text!
Please be aware that m-vapes do NOT sell on ebay and these sellers using our lovely pictures and text. they are frauds and are breaking uk copyright law.
They have been reported to ebay and i have also contacted trading standards
Please do not buy from them expecting a product that matches the pictures and description, they even had the cheek to use m-vapes in the tile of the listings!

Excellent Matt. Just ordered klf.

A bit cheeky to copy your work ! I'd not be happy either if someone were to make money of the back of all my hard work. Don't let em get to you pal, I'm sure trading standards will sort it out.

disgraceful matt....time for a water mark?

 

[matt-lmr]

I have thought about watermarks but i spend so much time and effort with high end equipment to make beautiful photo's i think a watermark would ruin it, i will do some test ones and see how it looks.
peace matt

Matt as a Pro photographer i know all about the pitfalls of images being stolen and the effects watermarks can have. However if you us Irfanview ( which is free ) you can add a watermark ( text , logo or both ) that can be adjusted for position, size and opacity so though it still goes across your image its very discrete.

Hope you dont mind but a sample here on one of your images.


just a quick play , if i save image as PNG it would remove the border around text so be even more discrete and once you have it all set to your liking you can batch convert all your images in one go.

Irfanview is a great tool but only free for non-commercial use

I just wish the images popped up - that image magnification in the small area is bloody annoying!

 

[matt-lmr]

Hi thanks for all you kind words and help guys, yes i do use infraview it is great! i did try a watermark and it came out very similar to what you have done, but i was still unsure about it as i think it detracts from the quality of the photo. i will continue to have a play.
i might speak to the website guys and see if they can stop the images being copied.
Peace matt

Very professional response.

I'd have been tempted to buy from them and ask to collect...
... I'm sure an 18650 mod enema would persuade them that crime doesn't pay.
