Sept 2- - Oct 4, 2003, I hiked in Canadian Rockies for two weeks.
Now the photo web for my hiking trip is up on-line.
You are cordially invited to visit the new photo gallery. Hope you will

You have some nice images in there. I might make them smaller, and easier to
see.

I would also recommend putting a some sort of visible watermark on your
images otherwise they might end up in someone else¹s portfolio.

Question - is there any "value" to reduced sized web photos? Certainly a
print couldn't be made of any commercial value, IMHO.

Also, with respect, I find your (PWW) copyright across the heart of the
picture very distracting.

Cheers,

Just wondering....I just added a photo section to my website. I put a
"no right click" javascript on all the photo pages with a friendly kind
of message that says it you would like a copy to contact me Is that
enough to stop people from stealing my photos? I know about Digimarc,
but I'm not working at present, so $$ are rather tight.

What does everyone else do to protect their work, but also get it out
there for people to see?

All those special ways to stop copying just doesn't work very well. It seems
that there are ways around all of them. That is why I recommend putting a
visible watermark on each and every image I put on the web. And use a lower
resolution image of not to big of size. I just figure that I have to get my
images out in front of clients and and accept a few thefts from my lower
rez, smaller watermarked images might make them think twice about taking my
images without my permission. I will still go after every single copyright
infringement that I can.

I think you have a very nice site, and if someone wants to buy the image,
the watermark is not that distracting.

Have fun,
Dave

I'll have to look into watermarking. I've never done it, but I'm sure
there has to be some place on the web where you can learn how to do this?

Post the URL of your site, and I'll post copies I've made of the photos. I
am sorry to say that I have a one-button mouse, so right click and wrong
click don't work for me. And yes, Digimarc is very expensive -- not aimed
at good amateurs or solo pros.

The sad fact is that if it is on the Web it can't _really_ be protected. I
include a copyright notice in each photo, but my stuff is still stolen and
used on other sites. Use low resolution photos, put a copyright notice in
each photo, and provide a link somewhere on your photo pages to a page on
your site where people can easily get information on how to license the use
of your photos. Low res photos will prevent people from making quality
prints, but my experience is that people want photos for their Web sites,
so they don't care too much about quality. Note that this is my experience
with my travel site; I'm not a pro and don't have professional quality
images on the Web.

Not realy. If they have any browser savoy they can 1) grab it from
cach 2) disable javascript 30 use an old browser.

Having said that, I would guess that 90%+ of the uses buy a PC and use
what's been pre-loaded. So for these casual users it is effective.

No.
On RiscOS, we save with the middle button, so that doesn't work at all.
