[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 344652"] TS, I think your watermarks are a bit too important and it distracts the viewer from the actual photo he/she is watching. It would be better if it were semi-transparent and placed in a corner. Take a look at these pictures in one of [URL="http://macheadcase.smugmug.com/gallery/1983695"][B]my galleries here[/B][/URL] to see what I mean. Another way I have found is to upload images in a maximum size of 800 pixels wide (or 800 pixels high, depending if it is portrait or landscape) and at a screen rez of 72 ppi. If they want to rip off my photos, they'll have to work pretty intensively in Photoshop to make it printable and /or bigger. Is this to stop hotlinking to your server or someone using your photos, claiming they did it themselves? Let's not kid ourselves, if someone wants to rip you off, they can if they give themselves the trouble. The only way I can see you trying to make it extremely difficult is through software make it hard for them to download the image to the computer, like those Flash-based gallery software: but even then I saw software enabling the user to grab an entire Flash-based presentation of the web and download it to his/her computer. So the way I see it is this is just to stop or discourage Mr. Jo Blo, not everyone all the time: some will know their way around things to get what they want, no matter what you do. [/QUOTE]
