Sampling photo sizes

[YEOWMING]

Need some advice here.

If you are shooting a product, decor, or location, and your contract stated 5 shots to be given, what size of sample photos (low resolution) do you give your client to select the 5 that he wants? Or is it better to watermark it?

No professionals here can advise?

1200x800 watermarked with your copyright and 'sample' words all over if you're kiasu.
but most of the time i will meet with the client to present the images using laptop or usbdrive. that's to ensure that they wont be viewing my images on their non-calibrated monitors.

I usually give the max resolution because the small shots do not contain the detail. I would watermark them in five areas and especially in areas where its hard to clone over.

Thanks for the replies.

I actually gave then small size for viewing, about postcard size, but they says too small , so I give bigger files, and guess what ? They used all the photos to post on their Facebook even though I only grant them 5 photos. Lesson learnt!

Next time, watermark it.

what about your contract T&Cs? you can take them to small claims court.
