I have heard people say that if you place your photos in a slide show, people can’t lift them off the web. That’s actually not true. In this post, I am going to show you how someone can do it and why it is important to watermark your work. In case you missed it, here is my Tutorial on How to Watermark your Listing Photos.

I am going to use my Active Rain blog roll for an example by lifting the photos on the slide show on my menu bar.

Say I want to lift this photo. I press “pause” on the slide show feature to pause the photo. Now I use the screen capture function on my computer. Then I open my photoshop and paste the screen capture to a new document.

Now I crop the image.

Follow the steps of watermarking tutorial: Tutorial on How to Watermark your Listing Photos.

Great, now I have lifted a photo of the slide show! And I just made it my own.

The problem with lifting from slide show is that the resolution is crappy and also see how small the photos came out? If I were make it bigger it becomes very fuzzy like so:

This is also a great way to tell if the photos on someone’s site is a rip off from someone else’s.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Cindy
