Q. electronic proofs without worry of illegal copying

Asked by Christopher Smith (K=25) on 6/24/2006

I need to send a set of proofs via email to a customer for whom I shot a baseball game for. They will then circulate the proofs via email to the various parents of the team members for viewing. How do I do this without worry that the images will be illegally downloaded by the individuals for their use without paying for them? I know that i can send low-res files, but they can still copy those to their computer to use or view on their desktop.

hi,Chris...you can add text that says Proof Copyright 2006 CS (or your full name) in larger font diagonally across the image...you should use a semi-transparent white for the text so that person can still see image well....that way it is difficult to clone out text in PS.... hope this helps and congrats on the gig!
regards,gayle

Use a PDF document and encrypt so as to not allow printing, copying of images or opening the files in another program such as Adobe Photoshop. It's under Security.
