But is it meant for people like me,  scalvert? I mean, do I really have to display the entire webpage as my wallpaper (e.g. Active Desktop in older versions of Windows) for you to tell me I'm not swiping the image? |

I don't like the transparent overlay for one reason... it inhibits what I believe is a core component of this site, that is, learning. No longer can we post an image and ask for edits. Now we have to post a link to an image hosted elsewhere.
Now, if we can figure out a creative way to reenable (easy) sharing for educational purposes, e.g. a "make this image publicly available" checkbox, then I'm all for the transparent overlay. |

| The more I think about it, I prefer this to the watermark. I think it's too much to have a watermarked image in a challenge. Unless DPC's going to watermark after the challenge. FLICKR also uses this non-intrusive method. |

FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME
You can ask others to edit the image. If you have it in your Workshop and post up a link to it, they can right-click and save it. |

Put it in your workshop folder. |

As noted several times, images in your Workshop folder do not have the overlay. Images over 800px are also exempt since they're within your control. Either way will allow you to share photos if you want to.

It's meant for people who take images that don't belong to them without permission. If that's you, then yes.

I like it! Much more than some watermark.
It may not avoid copies if the person is really willing to take it... But I am sure that it will prevent a lot of ocasional copy and paste that most people do when see a nice image... |

| Does it really work? I was at work today and working on a business card. Because I didn't have the main files, I was in my profile (not workshop), dragging challenge entries (mine) to photoshop with no problem. I wasn't even aware we had a clear overlay thing going on... |

You are able to use your own images. You would not be able to do the same with someone else's images.

Your own images don't have any overlay because there's no reason to prevent you from working with your own files. |

Ah, cool. Carry on. Think it's a swell first step. |

Well, at some point I just make them even worse! Somebody has to stop me. Clearly, this should be a responsibility of DPC and the SC..... :-P |

I think this is an excellent idea.
Now, can it be applied to ALL Challenge entries.
I just tried a random image from March 2009 and that image was still 'copyable' (is that a word).
If this can be done to all Challenge entries, I see no real need for a Watermark. If an image is
found anywhere on the web, once this technique has been implemented, then it has been stolen, no
ifs, no buts.

uhhhhhhhh, why do you think you have the right to take anyones image & use it for your own personal use ??? I'm totally curious about this..... Cause, what they are talking about won't effect your own images.. But, you seem to be telling this entire community that you "take" their images at will, "use" them at will and you think there's "nothing wrong" with this????? I must have missed something.. |
