		| | Ok, newbie question about pricing of CDs. 
 Acknowledging that anyone that gets a CD is going to be making prints of my work and that copyright laws are on my side.
 
 1. What is a reasonable price for a CD. Mine are averaging about 80 images.
 2. Is there a slideshow program that will make it very difficult to print or duplicate images from to help prevent unauthorized copying?
 3. Is there a program to ‘LOCK’ a CD so that a customer cannot print or duplicate a photo without a password that he must pay for? I know that software companies do this all the time.
 
 By practical experience, I have already taken some steps.
 a. No one gets electronic copies of my ‘special’ edited photos. They are print only and not included on the CD.
 b. I am placing a watermark in an unobtrusive but hard to remove placement on images.
 c. I am inserting my copyright statement in another location on the image that is not so obvious.
 d. EXIF info is only available on my computer/archival CD.
 
 Any other suggestions?
 Thanks,
 Glen

		| | ProShow Gold allows you to lock a CD, and password protect it.  It's a slideshow program.  They also allow the full resolution pictures to be included. |
