That's at the root of the dilemma many people face... if you put the watermark over the main subject of an on-line image, they feel it would ruin it for friends, relatives, visitors -- but if you make it too discreet, or in a part of the image that doesn't matter, someone can fairly easily cut it off or edit the photo to get rid of it. That's what happened to 1 photo-journalist who simply put his (C) at the bottom of an award winning photo, & then had it used, often without his (C) or permission by all sorts of publications on-line. * * * #10: "http://www.sliceimage.com/ is a program for protecting web photos." And the screen snapshot apps previously on GOTD defeat it in seconds. ;-) Images are *sliced* [broken into several pieces] for a variety of reasons -- back in the early-mid 90's I did it manually to animate parts of a larger image -- but for security can't see how it would be effective on anyone but the very PC illiterate. Tech Details: since there's no use for a sliced image other than the web, there's no reason to have it at anything but screen resolution, which is exactly what you get with a screen shot. You can use many PDF printers for that matter, & just copy/past the images from the PDF -- they might even up-sample to higher rez for you. * * * #13: "...if this software can watermark a DOCUMENT..." No... Document watermarks are something that depends on & is part of the doc's format, say Word, PDF etc... Many (most? -- all?) of the PDF creating apps on GOTD in the past I think had watermarking, so you could take whatever doc, add a watermark, and save as pdf. * * * #14: "...irritating to have the program open with that flower basket and four demo boxes checked too..." In the program folder is a sub-folder named: "Examples" -- delete it... app will then open *empty*. * * * #15: "Just because a pic (or text for that matter) is on the Internet or comes to you via an email does not make it free or without copyright protections." Very true, but unfortunately the old saying: "Possession is 9/10 of the law" seems to apply. If/when PR is important violating etiquette is important -- Microsoft recently pulled a download app that *borrowed* some open-source code in a way that was frowned on. On-the-other-hand, the guy that did the famous Obama poster made a fortune & won awards off an admitted stolen image! In fact from what I read, he sued the owner of the original image!]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:39:42 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/batch-picture-protector/#comment-102641 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/batch-picture-protector/#comment-102640 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:27:38 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/batch-picture-protector/#comment-102640 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/batch-picture-protector/#comment-102639 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:11:01 -0500 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/batch-picture-protector/#comment-102639
