There is a simple way to protect your image without a big visible (and ugly) watermark..

METADATA...

Metadata is essentially information embedded into your media that stays there.

Through Photoshop (most versions CS, CS2, CS3 for sure) all you have to do is go:

FILE> FILE INFO, and it will bring up all your embedded info. Simply embed a copyright ( Read more... )

Hmm...what's to stop people from hitting print screen and capturing the photo anyway? (I just did that for a couple of flickr images, lol)

Um, the fact that lots of people don't know how to do print screen? LOL

Well, maybe the quality isn't the best, or people just couldn't be bothered...

And, I don't think this is preventing them from taking down/saving the photo, it's just putting little bug in the photo so owner can find it.

And you naughty!! PrtSc on Flickr!! LOL, I admit they have awesome photos! :D :P
Luckily I found the blog from one of my favorite photographs and I can save pics from there :D She is Indian and has beeeeeautiful colorful and zen photos.

Y;know, unfortunately that might be true >__>

It's definitely a nifty little trick and I think I'll try it sometime ^__^

Hahaha, I just wanted to blog about something and the damn pics they give as embeds are freakin' tiny. If I were using them for icons and stuff, I'd give credit and links and all but this seems rather extreme *sigh*

She is Indian and has beeeeeautiful colorful and zen photos

Hehe, yeah, but another thing that goes into your account is that metadata can be changed and people could re.upload pic again, but let's be happy that people don't know about this stuff, so shhhhh. :D

Why do you think I mentioned she's Indian anyway?! :D
