RE: This Photo Has Been STOLEN From Me 14+ Times!! (And What I Did to Protect My Work)

in #photography8 years ago

Great post and great idea! As a graphic designer, i never upload full size photographs i take. In photoshop, its really easy to downsize from your default 72 inch wide photo down to say, 10 inches at 72 dpi. It will surely stop anyone from using it in production. While photoshop is expensive for just resizing images, theres sure to be free programs that can perform the same basic function. Check out my posts! I recently blogged a photojournal

That's also a great step to take! However, that will really only prevent anyone from being able to snag an image and print it with decent quality. They would still be able to use that low-quality image on a website.
Gimp is a great open-source alternative to Photoshop. Not nearly as powerful, overall, but good for the basics like resizing.
