Drop Shadows to Prevent Good Printing?


Hi all. I heard that if a drop shadow is placed on your images (as they do here at Betterphoto), it prevents people from being able to print a nice image straight off of the computer. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm just trying to learn every possible way to protect images from being "stolen" on the net. Thanks!

  A drop shadow will not help, because it can be easily cropped out. If you are really concerend you need to watermark your images.
You can see what I mean by going to my gallery:

I teach this technique in my class Photographer's Toolbox for Photoshop: Toolbox 2.
