[QUOTE="§am, post: 143320, member: 9187"] I agree, the more tech savvy users will always find a way to 'steal' what they want, where they want, and whenever they want - nothing is fool proof. But if for the rest of the world you can make it harder than right click and save as, that will deter most people straight away. What would be great is if the EXIF data on your photo had the serial number of your camera hard embedded into the data, much like the camer make and model etc. Far easier to say, here's my camera with serial number xyz which matches the one in the picture data, now show me your camera which took that picture and has serial number... oh look yours says abc!!!!!! I have personal reasons why I don't share 99% of my photos on most sites - FB yes, but even then it's to very select few people ;) The sites above and possibly others do help, but I'd say, start watermarking your images quite "in your face" type. Interested parties will contact you in due course to hopefully purchase non-watermarked copies :) [/QUOTE]
