If it turns out I end up selling I like the buyer to know they have or have the rights to the only known clean images. I haven’t had that chance often but when I do I watermark my listing images or place small items in random spots on the artwork/photo. It may be a bit of overkill especially if something isn’t in ultra high demand but I believe it’s still a selling point.
