Corners are the easiest to crop away. Placing the mark near the centre, or tiling it across the whole image, makes removal much harder without destroying the picture. Tiling at low opacity is the standard approach for proof photos and previews you want visible but not freely reusable.
Around 30–50% for a corner signature, and lower — roughly 15–25% — when tiling, since repetition makes it read as heavier than it is. Full opacity looks amateurish and buries the photo. The aim is a mark that is unmistakable when you look for it but does not fight the image.
It deters casual reuse and makes attribution travel with the image, which is genuinely useful. It is not legal protection and it can be edited out by anyone determined. Copyright exists whether or not you watermark; the mark mainly raises the effort required and makes unauthorised use obvious at a glance.
