I ran across a web site that really explains scanning. Check this page out! http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html It shows an incredible photo comparison of scanning. You can see a photo scanned in at 7 DPI. Yes, I said 7 (SEVEN!) That would definitely stop a customer from copying or trying to print a 7 DPI photo. (It certainly makes it hard for him!) If someone on the board wants to do the math and give us figures, for an image for a 800x600, 1024 screen, etc, it would be appreciated! Check it out! It may get the "brain" going! Marian

CiCi, That may be true to some extent on an image, but (for example) if you watermark a face (portrait), it will take some extensive PhotoShop, to "correctly" edit the watermark "Out" of the picture. There is another thread started about copying images. I wish the user kept it in this thread! Marian

Casey, I am a registered user of Paint Shop Pro which has a screen capture feature bulit into it. I quickly created a Slideshow from Px2Exe and ran it. I activated my hot button for the screen capture and was able to Grab" images from the running slide show. How would you "encrypt" an image to put into a slide show? Wouldn't you need some software to decrypt the image within a running slideshow? The only way (my opinion) is to watermark the image OR make it a low res picture that even if it was "grabbed" from a capture program, it wouldn't be of any resolution to print it out. Anyone else? Marian

garrry4, We don't know what software Beth has in her computer. So, as far as putting a "watermark or transparent overlay" that would be up to her and what software, she has at her disposal. Another thought, is to make a slideshow, with very low res images, to a point that even if they were copied somehow, they couldn't be printed out to any worth while degree! Marian

And, as always, from a photographic stand point of view. Imbed a transparent watermark on top of the image. Enough to prevent copying of the image.

Starfish, Try Multimedia Builder at http://www.mediachance.com. They have a downloadbale demo for you to try. Another great product like Pix2Exe! Marian
