Watermark or copyright in corner?

[WDodd]

Oh forgot to mention the disabling of right click breaks compatibility with firefox's tabs. Centre click now brings up the warning message if there is one even when i'm just trying to look at 2 gallerys at once. That is just a down right pain and I usually give up surfing the website at that point.

I absolutely agree. I refuse to look at websites with right-click protection. It just says something about the photographer or web designer that I don't agree with.

What I think even worse, is the message you get upon right-clicking! Sopme people customise it to "Don't steal my images." or "Nasty nasty!".

This really tells something about that person. And it tells he does not know much about computers.

They can also View the source html of the page and then just look for the photo they want or have a download manager download every picture on the site.

Now that I think about it..if you hit CTRL+S in your browser and save the page, a display version is saved to the HD completely bypassing it.


My first batch of photos that I ever posted online, I watermarked. But now, I just leave them as is and work on the honor system. Personally, I don't mind if people use my work, as long as it's not for a commercial purpose or anything that generates revenue.

do you put a watermark across the whole photo or do you just put your name and copyright in the bottom corner?

Barely visible name and copyright notice in a corner of the picture,
more obvious name and copyright notice "off picture":www.pacificphotographicimages.com

i personally dont do either because i take pictures for fun and dont mind others having full access to them, but the closest thing you can do to protecting it other than watermarking which detracts from the piocture is limit the size of the picture.

an interesting experience was a fellow student in my photography class was into dirt biking and would take pictures at the events he went to. he also frequented sites that had information and products about dirt bikes. he (like many of us) uploaded the full qualities to flickr. about a month after an event he ran across a website selling posters that were made from one of his pictures. it was a bit of a shock, and he now limites his upload size

It's just a hobby for me, I don't care if someone copies my image.

...so far at least. I have yet to find someone steal one of mine.

wait until you find one of your images, taken without giving you any credits.
I used to think like you, but when it happens, you start to change your way of thinking.

I knew about IOCCC, but not about the javascript one.:hail:
Just what Alex_B was looking for I presume...
The last one... Thanks a lot, you made my day.

Worse yet...It's scary to think that if they were your personal pictures that people may do something creepy like assume your identity! Remember the Net?

How do you watermark your photos? what software?

 

[Newfive]

Photowatermark Pro is what I use, can do just one picture or batch them.

Pretty cool program can make several watermark logos select which one you want.

Hey thanks, I'll try it out.........I feel the same way about never leaving home without my camera, This is my first full week of having a DSLR and I think I'm really gonna like photography..... click my link below and check out my fisrttime shots

Hello,

I use ImageMagick for framing, resizing, watermarking,... You can watermark with text or image. This is perfect for batch process. I think there is also a GUI, but never tried.

 

[WDodd]

You can watermark all the photos you export in Lightroom as well. Even upload custom watermarks or just have it done by text.
