Re: Anybody using Walter's Gardens images

If you are trying to protect your own images and are good with Photoshop or something like it, people say to add a transparent layer to the image. When someone tries to copy it, all they get is the transparent layer. Some art sites do this for art postings. 


This is hearsay -- I have not tried it.

Also, a real nerd can easily get past the transparent layer, of course.

One thing I confess to doing for a talk is take photos of a Pinterest page onscreen that had items related to my topic. There are many ways to copy things.

With the clipping tool, EVERYTHING is copyable online these days. Just not hi-res.
Does Susan have a suggestion as to how to prevent the right click "copy" image?
