I’m using WordPress for a photoblog and currently rely on Yet Another Photoblog to manage image uploads. I’d like alternatives that offer more features, especially automatic watermarking of displayed photos. What WordPress-compatible plugins or services are worth considering?

There are a couple options offered by the photo hosting/gallery sites that allow for embedding of images within WordPress blog posts.
Photoshelter provides high-end (but very functional) photo/gallery hosting. They offer the ability to automatically watermark images. Photoshelter has a WordPress plugin that allows one to search/browse through their Photoshelter images and drop that image into a WordPress post.
SmugMug offers similar photo hosting services and also offers the ability to have images automatically watermarked for display. While they don't offer a WordPress plugin, it's really easy to grab an embed code that will display the photo in a WordPress post. I currently use SmugMug in such a manner on my photography blog.
I've used both services in the past and can recommend them both as an affiliate. Photoshelter is aimed more at the pro who wants to optimize for stock sales with great SEO; SmugMug is catered towards both pros and serious amateurs who want great-looking sites with minimal customization required.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A commonly recommended WordPress option is NextGEN Gallery. Based on the community replies, it supports adding watermarks from either text or an uploaded image, and also includes slideshow, resizing, and cropping tools. It’s widely used and has good plugin ecosystem support.
If you’re open to hosting images outside WordPress, PhotoShelter and SmugMug were also suggested. Both can automatically watermark display images. PhotoShelter offers a WordPress plugin for browsing and inserting hosted images into posts, while SmugMug makes it easy to embed images via code.
Another option mentioned is Flickr Photo Album if you already host on Flickr. It’s useful for displaying galleries and individual photos in WordPress, though the replies specifically highlight flexibility and templates rather than watermarking.
So, for built-in WordPress watermarking, NextGEN Gallery is the strongest match from the answers provided.
