Copyright Your Photos and Images



I was surprised one day to see that one of my photos, "Snow Rose" was being used as an avatar by someone else in the same online community. She also posted how she enjoyed being a photographer. No mention anywhere that she did not take that picture.



This prompted a round of what can you do to protect your images, often it is a case to teaching newbies that you must ask permission. Some of us would add the © to our photos, but distracted from the picture. Others would watermark theirs but then much of the image is blocked from viewing. And my keyboard doesn't have the symbol, I always forget the code to type such.



Yesterday I saw something I thought was cool, the copyright symbol as part of the file name, makes it hard to say I didn't know.



Testing.



Opps, messed it up, uploaded image to Blogger and lost the file name.
