Very nice shot...how do you insert your caption and name onto your photos?
I'm worried about copyright infringement.

Mary- Most any good graphics/photo program gives you this flexibility. Realize, however, that once the picture is copied, anyone with a photo program can crop out the writing. I've heard that putting a transparent .GIF over the image will slow them down, but based on the experiences I've heard about, the only way to be sure nobody uses your pic is to keep it off the web. That defeats the purpose, so I guess it's just something you have to live with. Where ever there's a way to keep thievery from happening, there's a thief out there who will figure out how to get around it. #12127

Thanks for the advice. Oh well, thieves have to live with their own crimes, eh?

Thank you all for your comments. It was a neat evening. Maxine is correct about the internet and people copying a picture but the size that is posted is not any good for print so I don't worry about it. I usually just "sign" it and put a name to it because I like to, not because it protects it.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
