Well, if you make that claim who are you suggesting is doing this? Those whom post up the originals or those who steal the pictures?

A good case made to embed as much metadata as you can into your digital image files. Photoshop and some other programs also have a feature to watermark photos with some kind of copyright, even if it`s just the author`s name. I have not tried this yet, but some people convert their image files to .pdf format. Not sure if it prevents image hijacking, but it makes them harder to copy and modify. [disclaimer - I cheated and did not read each page of this thread. If a similar comment has already been made, my apologies.]

I was informed last week from another guy who has a detailing business in CO that Home stole a picture from my website and put it on his. I emailed this individual last week and asked him to remove it and to inform me when he does. I have not received any reply and my picture is still on his website. Ive also been told that he has done things like this in the past, so be on the look out.

Funny, because he has a "copyright" on the bottom of his site!

Anyone know of a cheap/free program that will water mark your pics for you? I`m having a site built and think I may want to start water marking my pics too.

This program is the easiest I have found, I actually use it to resize all of my photos in one click before uploading to photobucket. It will also watermark each picture at the same time it resizes as well! Let me know if you need any help using it.

BTW, its free!

Picasa 3: Free download from Google

Here`s one I came across today. I am almost certain I have either seen this truck in a C&B here, or over at MOL. They are local to me, but the originator was not. Work

Yep, here it is! http://www.autopia.org/forum/click-b...ra-detail.html

I am truly sorry for my action and will not happen again. I hope you all don`t judge me for a stupid act on my part.

KUDOS TO YOU FOR BEING HONEST ENOUGH TO APOLOGIZE THERE SHOULD BE MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU AROUND.:2thumbs:
