Stolen Pictures on ebay

[Carols Clucks]

I watermark mine in either photoshop or lightroom. You can also embed your name in the file. You do want to save that watermarked file as a copy so you do not damage the original file.

Katy, I would reply with you would love to show the judge in the matter your original file, you can also show that the embedded profile includes the serial # of your camera, but that you do NOT need to prove to them that you own your photo that they STOLE off the internet.

The statement that "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" basically means that you get more done/make fewer enemies by being nice than being sour. However, the person who stated that apparently never caught pesky fruit flies with apple cider vinegar and dish soap

I basically told them that I'm not the thief that stole the picture, they are, so I don't have to prove anything to them. That I took it of my chickens with my camera and the original is in my chicken photo file on my computer. I told them I'll be happy to show ebay my original picture to show that it is mine. This is the third time someone has stolen that picture to use to sell eggs from their chickens....twice on ebay and once someone was using it on their website. Morons. I feel badly for all the people who buy eggs based on stolen pictures.

I know how they steal your photos katy, Once I was on good images and I typed "silver laced wyandotte" and it came up. But that was awhile back.

Sorry this person is an idiot

.

If you would like to cheat at watermarking you can either type "(c)NAMEGOESHERE": just parenthisis around a lower case C or you can go to microsoft word type it the same way & it should auto turn it into a real watermark. I have PhotoShop but I cant get it to put a watermark so I saved mine in a word doc & everytime I need it I copy it from there & put it on a copy of the original pic the I adjust the size & opacity as needed. I like a smaller but still noticeable WM so (in PS) I use size 200 for the copyright & size 150 for my name with an opacity between 20%-40% depending on the pic. For a big full screen one I recomend 500.

If anyone would like examples click here. The older pics were before I knew the word doc trick.
