Topic: which version to upload? (biggest with watermark or bigger without watermark)

Posted under Art Talk

Wandered across bigger version of post #232218

has https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/kissing-centaurs-marc-debauch.jpg
size 900px × 624px filesize 171.61 KB
(i mention it because it has no watermark)

Artist website has biggest version (that i can find) but with watermark,
size of 2,560px × 1,776px and filesize 1,381.67 KB

Which version would be better to upload to e621??
(The watermark from the image at artist website seems manageable to me,
but thought i'd ask the forum)

Thanks.
(guessing "Art Talk" is appropriate subforum for this post)

I'd say use the one with the watermark, quality is better and watermark is not too intrusive.
Include the non-watermarked version in the source links.
