Saving any photo on the web is as easy as hitting "PRINT SCREEN" button and pasting the screen shot into an image editing program.

What I posted is not top secret, inside info or anything that is "trick".

I think that anyone who would contemplate doing anything illegal with the images would already know how to do what I posted, and then some.

Richard Shute grew up in New England, but he is not much of a baseball fan. I have family in Massachusetts and Maine who are Red Sox fans, however misguided they may be.

Secondly, we recognize that there is no way to completely protect images. On a regular basis, we go after people that use our images without our permission on a commercial web sites and we are constantly shutting down eBay auctions for prints of our images pirated from various sites. I don't have a problem with someone using one or two of our images on a personal page, such as the myspace.com page referenced earlier in this thread, but we do ask that the images be accompanied by a photo credit/copyright notice and a link to our site.

We (Richard Shute, Bob Hesser and myself) make our living selling the use of our images, so hopefully everyone understands why we go to the lengths that we do to protect our images.

While it's suitable for framing and sale on ebay, instead I have just put it through the sheader under my desk.

Sounds good to me. You won't have to twist Goodwin's arm either. He and his lovely bride have become a regular part of our semi-annual (or more) treks to Lawry's.

An 800 pixel x 533 pixel photo like the one in question, is only good for a 4" x 3" photo quality print. You could not make an 8 x 10 of it and pass it off as an original photo, period.

What you printed in your home office IS NOT photo quality like you would get from a lab.

As a point of reference, here is a link to a photo website that tells you the minimum resolution for a photo quality print.
