| Now I am curious; if you add a photo as a "favorite", but later delete it, it will not show up as part of the site favorite count, correct? I ask because I have used my "Favorite Photos" as a holding tank until I can put a copy onto my hard drive. I like having even small views of some of my favorites to keep on my PC. Then I de-select them as favorites so I'll know I've uploaded them. But I guess I am doing a dis-service to the phtographer if this is true. Anyone else do this? |

I would assume that the favorites count would adjust itself. I think that the current your favorites list could be up to 500 pictures.

To answer your question, the count only includes users who currently have a given photograph selected as a favorite.
Your post does not make it clear whether you are contacting the photographers whose photographs you are downloading for permission first before you do so. As each photographer retains copyright to her or her respective work posted on the site, it is important that any copies of that work be made only with the permission of the respective photographers.

| I haven't ever considered keeping a thumbnail for my own viewing as a copyright infringement. Hopefully this isn't an issue. That's usually the web ethic . . . "as long as it is for your personal enjoyment", etc., and it is too small an image to "do" anything with (print, publish, etc.). |

The size of the file you are saving doesn't matter. You obviously consider the image useful at that size, otherwise you would not bother downloading it.
Part of the problem is that the so-called "web ethic" that copying intellectual property is acceptable for personal use is acceptable runs at odds with copyright law. If you walked into an art gallery, you would not expect to be allowed to take photographs of the artwork displayed on the gallery walls, though you would certainly be permitted to view that artwork for the time you were there. This is simply a matter of showing the same courtesy and respect to the artists here that you would to the artists displaying work in your local gallery.

Agreed, I would definintely ask for permission with what you are doing. In all reality, it wouldn't be a big deal to me, but I would still like to know if someone was and why they are using it.
Hypothetical Situation (Not Likely on DPC anyways):
Say someone downloaded my shot from my portfolio for "personal use." But what if the person who downloaded it used it to somehow made profit from the shot, then I would definitely want to know about it.
I think the rule of thumb should be to ask each individual photographer. You can't really go wrong there.
