Hello all. :D

I was hoping that one of the lovely photographers on PT would be able to give me some direction.

I would like to add some level of protection to my photos. I would just like to know they're safe when I send them out wherever. How would I go about doing this?

Thank you much! :D

Well here is one thing you can do, that could add a little protection to your photos -- put watermarks with your name right where the main focus of the picture is or right through the middle. :) Thats all I know of, and now do to my pictures. I'm sure someone could possibly get it to go away some how but atleast it something for some picture stealers out there...

Yes, just go into any photo editing program and add © (copyright) Your Name right on the photo itself. It doesn't make stealing it impossible, but it does make it harder - editing that back out is a pain.

If someone really wants one of your images he/she will be able to take it, one of the unfortunate side effects of using the internet.
