Craigs List image theif - ANOTHER AD with my pics

[ChickBond 007]

Thanks all. I'll be watching the Raleigh ads for a reposting.
Does anyone with more tech skills that me have any idea of what I can do to protect my images from this type of theif?

Picnik.com is a editing site, I add watermarks to my pictures there by going to create -> text-> and doing the OVERLAY option. It is visible but doesn't take completely from the picture. If you want, look on my site, all the pictures are watermarked. I had the same issue, someone in the local CL took pictures as one of my ads to sell his birds.

TSR Watermark Image Software is also another good one. It will do one pic or a batch. Best of all, it's free!

Thanks for your help. I used Picnik and it was easy/great! So glad I know how to protect my pics now.
Thanks again!

Awesome

Glad it worked. It's horrible we have to watermark the simplest pictures. I wouldn't mind people using them with permission, but don' t claim my crappy pics as your own!

I've found another thread with my photo in it. Would you assist me again by flagging this as prohibited?

Yes, I added the watermark yesterday, but the slug must still have my photo and others stolen here on his computer.
Thanks for helping me flag him into oblivion.
