One other "poor man's protection" comes to mind: print or burn the images to a CD, seal them and deposit them with a solicitor for safe keeping. If they are clearly dated, when you produce them to settle a dispute, you should have the edge on who ever stole your image since yours will always predate any evidence they may care to manufacture at a later date. --/ Shangara Singh http://www.e-pixel.co.uk Adobe Certified Expert ~ Photoshop 7.0 PortfoliosOnCD for Photographers http://www.portfoliosoncd.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
