Many of us do slideshow presentations for any number of different types of audiences. When doing so do the images you project have your name or signature on them or do you prefer to show your images without any distracting element?

Assuming the presentation is a projection:
If you're only showing your images why would you need to sign them? I wouldn't.
If you're showing images from a number of different photographers then you should identify the photographers in some way. I would keep the name as small as possible but still visible and in a non important part of the image. Or preferable show the image and then identify the photographer either before or after the image is shown. I dislike seeing a name plastered over an image. I know if your showing it over the internet you need to safe guard the image in some fashion.

I don't put anything on the projected images. I have a title screen at the start of the show which includes my name, and a credits screen at the end which has my website url.

I don't know what software you are using to do your shows. I've used ProShow Producer for a long while, but I'm now thinking of moving my shows over to Lightroom. I learned recently that you can get Lightroom to automatically pick up text fields from the image metadata. So for camera club slideshows it is easy to include the camera settings used, for example. For other audiences you could include the location, or use a comments field on particular slides.

I also have a title slide and a slide at the end giving credit to my wife and me. The images we show do not have signatures or watermarks.

When I process images after a shoot I almost always make a large tiff file and a 400 kb or so jpeg web file which I sharpen and sign. When I put together a slideshow I select the jpeg images from my inventory so all of them have my name and the year in small letters at the bottom. I use P2E to create my shows. Doing a show without signature slides means I would have to recreate or revise the ones I want to use. Nevertheless, I must admit the show would look better without that minor distraction on each slide.
I appreciate the input.

I have an intro image that has "Images by Robert Boner" written on it and the last slide is a repeat of the previous one that just says "The End"
