How to Prevent Your Digital Photos from Being Stolen on the Internet

Photos you took on your own using any camera are considered your own creations. They are protected by copyright law. However, posting them on the Internet brings the risk of getting them stolen because of the convenient means for others to download them and use them for their own benefits. To avoid such dilemma, it is best to prevent your photos from becoming readily accessible for profitable use by others.

Instructions

Make low-resolution copies of your photos, then use them for online uploads. A photo between 600 to 800 pixels with 72 dpi (dots per inch) resolution is decent enough for web use. Such a photo can still fairly work with a 4x6-size print, but anything more than that will be too pixilated already. This way, you prevent other people from profiting from them. Even using the computer's "Print Screenshot" command would still provide such a low resolution that people wanting to steal your photo would most likely have second thoughts already because of its quality.

Place a watermark on your photo. You can use the copyright symbol, your name or both of them on your photo. "Do you want to discover digital photography methods that carry expert photographers to where they are today? Well, The Top Secret Photography Techniques might support you out in doing so. To obtain amazing images we initially need to have to look at some basic photography strategies. The most important one I am able to share with you is figure out about light. You can come across all the things regarding photography techniques on , The Top Secret Photography Techniques. Whenever you learn about light and in what technique it interacts with the direct environment then your photos will get better..". Depending on your preference, you can place this watermark on one corner of the photo or you may want to make this large enough to cover a large space on your photo. There are a number of watermark programs that are free or available for purchase online. You can also manually create a watermark for a photo by using any image-editing program. This lessens the risk of stealing your photo because other people intending to copy them would get discouraged because they need to allot much time to edit the image using a photo-editing program to remove your watermark.

Embed the copyright information into the EXIF data of your photo. You can do this using an applicable photo-editing program like Photoshop where you can edit this data and you can enter your copyright information. This typically includes your name or any other unique identifier. Some cameras, especially DSLR cameras, can automatically embed your copyright information as the owner of the camera and the photo shot using the said camera.

Disable the right-click function that allows the "Save As" option for your uploaded photo. This is typically an option when you create your own website and it is also an option for some photo-sharing sites like Flickr. Although other people can still use the "Print Screenshot" function to copy your photo, using a small resolution photo, a watermark on the photo and the placement of the copyright information in your photo's EXIF data significantly help prevent making your photos profitable for thefts already.
