...there's steps for preventing it, right? 'cause I just want to make sure before I put anything up there. ^_^ Life is like a bowl of Ettins |

You can use an program that prints an invisible copyright into the image using stenography, Google will be your friend. But I think it's only a way for professionals, so you can better print a watermark in your work.   Geek Ettin's Lab (New!) Bill Gates: "Be nice to nerds.

you could also use an art program like gimp to watermark an image. it doesn't prevent theft so much as makes it more annoying/difficult for the thief to pass it off as their own. |

I usually add my name to everything drawn/painted in as part of the picture somewhere in an obscure area. It won't stop people from posting it elsewhere, but in the case I find out their actually claiming it as their own, I can always point out it's got my name on it, how did that get there? |

If you're worried about art theft, you really have to put a big watermark over the whole piece. Having your name in a corner won't help you if someone really wants to steal you art--it really isn't hard to edit out a name; anyone with Photoshop could do it relatively easily. - Liam / K'aeloree Spellhold Studios, a Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights and Oblivion Modding Community |

I never put it as raw font in a corner, more like integrate it into the actual image somewhere. (I've seen this before in a painting, where there was a section with vines and if you studied it enough, you'd notice they painted their name in as a vine) If you edit it out, you have to remove/change part of the picture. But overall you're right, even on the biggest watermarks, if someone wants it they'll figure out a way to edit it out, I do it all the time with watermarked stock footage to make seamless textures for FPS maps. |
