I’m in the same boat. Up until today, I had the functionality to delete unwanted photos... I've noticed there's a look and functionality to the "Categorize Deluxe Web Site Photos" page now. While I love the new layout, I REALLY miss the ability delete unwanted photos. This is particularly important to me now, as I have more then 100 photos I need to replace due to a technical error that was removing the embedded colour file during upload (this problem was on my end). I'm going to need to get rid of the erroneous photos as I upload the corrected ones, but would rather not flood Jim with a ton of e-mails having to have him do it for me. Does anyone know if the removal of the "Delete Altogether" is permanent, or is the just that the new page is under development? Thanks in advance. Regards, Eric.

Deluxe Web Site
Hello all,
I am in the process of setting up my DeluxE web site and would like hints from people that already have one, as to the best way to scan my pics and put them into the site. I have had some trouble (I am sure it is the settings I am using on the scanner) having them appear as they do on the original print. Maybe it is the pixels I am using. Does anyone have some hints for me? I want the pics to look as clear and great on the site as they do for real.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Pam, and welcome!
I, too shoot all film (slides), and suffered through the arduous task of trying to re-create the same image quality as my originals.
I upgraded my scanning equipment to a Nikon Coolscan 4000... a bit pricey, but well worth the money for the high quality scans it delivers. Are you scanning prints, or negatives? If you are not using a dedicated film scanner, that might be something to consider. There are many brands and levels of quality available to fit most budgets.

Protecting a set of photos
I have noticed that you can create multiple set of photos in your web site.Can you protect with a password any of the sets, so that only the persons or customers you have can access their photos?

Hi Javier- We don't support this right now, although you are not the first person who has asked for it. It is something we're considering as a future enhancement. jay

Security issues
When posting a picture to my website, how do I insure that my customers can't download or print out my pictures without paying?

If you get a web site or gallery here on betterphoto that is done for you automatically. All your images will be protected for you. If you have your own site...I don't know. Anyone?

There are several ways around this. One method is to have scripts on the website determine whether the image is being referenced by the web page or by a direct download. This only works some of the time. Another method is to use Javascript to disable right-clicking... but this only works sometimes and can annoy some people who just wanted to bookmark your site. Other people use a watermark on the image. This, I think, is the best method. A water mark is just a faint copyright notice placed at key locations on your image so that people can't just download and print out your image without the watermark present. Other people will slice up their pictures and assemble them on the webpage with a table so that the picture looks whole, but when people try to download the picture to print it, the picture is not printable without alot of assembly work. Alot of ways to attempt to protect, each to varying levels of success. Good luck! Me? I used to use scripts which replaced the image with a big black X. I then switched to watermarking and placing a copyright notice on the image itself. I am planning on setting up an automatic system to slice and dice my pictures and resize them so that they are hard to reassemble. :) Good luck!

Actually with the newer browsers like Mozilla you can download the image just fine. It still gives you the warning to contact betterphoto.com if you want a copy but you still have the options to view the image, copy the image link, save as, etc etc.

Just for a test, I went into Chris's and Wing's members site and was able to right click and copy photo's to my computer and then print them. I did have a warning about for the copy write notice for the photo's but my windows bar came up to able me to save the photo's. Something to think about. This was very easy. But the photo's that are posted are in a smaller image size, Need more protection?

Really, the only way would be to watermark the images so that even a print will have a visible watermark, making the image unsuitable for reprroduction. Most images on the site are pretty low-rez. Granted, with some fancy software footwork, you can blow up the small images up to a full 8x10 or more easily, a postcard size. Having gone down that route, it quickly becomes a job of protecting images instead of making them. Best bet? Copyright your images and have them registered on file with the Copyright office. When you find an infringer, you can bring charges against them and be done with it. I've heard of and seen some folk who won't think twice about downloading pics and then redistributing them. Your best bet is to watermark your images with both visible and invisible watermarks when displayed on the web. That way, the image can be traceble and identifiyable.

No one mentioned the fact that if you can see the image on your monitor (and right-clicking to save it isn't an option), all you have to do is hit the "print screen" key. Doing so copies exactly what you see on your monitor to the clipboard, and then all you have to do is open MS Paint, paste the image there, crop at will, and save it. Therefore, the watermark/copyright route seems the best way to go.

Additional thought: If you use a film camera, you'll have the negative if you ever need to prove that you did take a certain photograph. I don't know how you'd prove it if the image was shot with a digital camera unless the image was still on the camera's storage media.

Deluxe Websites and Sizing Photos
I'm thinking about getting a website. I haven't got the slightest idea though how to prepare some of my stuff for it.Pardon my ignorance about this, but... first
I would like to know how to change the jpeg options. If I took a photo and then saved it in jpeg it asks me whether I want to save it as low quality, med., high or maximum. I don't know what to save it as, medium? And then the other question is, what if I saved it as maximum and then want to go back and change it for the purposes of uploading it onto a website? Can someone tell me what to save it as and how to go back into jpeg options and change it whenever I need to for different purposes. Thanks,

Best to save them as highest quality for your own keeping. And then when you want to upload one, make that into a picture that's no more than 500pixels on the short end (that's what the web people say).
This is how I do mine. I take mine off the card, then save them as the max quality in a file on my computer. Then I put them on a cd. Then I go back to the file and use photoshop to open them, and use the image size thing and change whichever is the shortest side of the picture to 400 pixels (I do mine 400 so that it uploads and comes up on the site a little faster).
Then once I change the size, I save it again. If I keep the title of the picture the same I just have to clik save. If I change the title and have to use "save as", then I save it again on the highest quality setting.
Doing this changes a 3 megabyte image to a 200 kilobyte image. But for some reason, looking at it on a website, it comes out right.
But you need something that will allow you to change the image size when you want to upload it.

Gregory I'm not sure what you mean "on the short end" Do you mean the width of your photo should be no more than 500 pixels? I don't think you mean that but I'm just asking?

Like a 4x6 the short end is the 4 inch side. If I open up something in photoshop and it's vertical, under image size it has pixel dimensions and it can be something like vertical-2000 horizontal-3000. You change the 2000 to 500, clik "okay" and then save it.
If it was horizontal the horizontal side would be 2000, and you change that number to 500.

A web page is indeed a very quick and easy way for people to see your work and purchase images. imagine if you have an app that helps you display your photos on all your fav websites, and also help promote them.
There is an app named "funcaster" that does this and it very simply to use.I have created one for me at www.myspace.com/callmetrendy This is my website
