If I display my artwork and photography on myspace...?

Question

what can I do to make sure my images cannot be stolen. I want to make it so that you cannot right click the image and save it.

Answer 1

Setting your privacy to private is a good idea, but if you WANT strangers to view your piccies i suggest you put a watermark on them, like this:

http://hs.facebook.com/album.php?aid=6358&l=fa9bd&id=501691895

It's quite easy to do with photoshop or some other editing software. Tutorials can be found on google, just put in "watermark tutorial".


If you want to make it so that people cannot right click, try this site:

I heard it doesn't help that much, though, because people can just either print screen or use some other method. A watermark is your best bet :)

Hope this helps~

Answer 2

Post your images as low resolution copies of your originals. Since computer screens are pretty low resolution devices, you can make images that appear fairly sharp on the screen, but as soon as you try to increase the image size, they look horrible.

And, yes, watermark them, too if you have a program that can do that

Answer 3

Make your profile private that way it's only your friends that are able to view your pictures.
