Mac: Option-g
Windows: Alt-0169

That's to type it in the appropriate text field. To get it to show as part of the filename at the top of the window fill out the appropriate fields in "File Info" (File Menu) and check the box.

Sorry to bug you all again but how do you get the text to go sideways? I can get it to go up and down...

...For example:

L
i
k
e

T
h
i
s

... but I can seem to get it to write up and down and sideways. :-|

Thanks in advance for any help!

You probably need to select a rectangular area to put your text into before typing. Just drag out a rectangle with the text tool.

Also as a side note, I just want to make sure you're aware that addition of text to DPC submissions is prohibited by the editing rules, and that includes border. The Doors and Windows challenge is exempt from the editing rules, so text is ok there.

You might also put it in a text box, and use the rotate tool to rotate the text, so that it is 'sideways' but rotated ? Not quite sure which way you want it.

Once you have a text layer (with that layer selected) you can go to edit->transform and in there are options to rotate the text.

Ctrl+Alt+c is quicker.

On my Windows XP system it worked automatically.
On my Windows 98SE system I had to set the Keyboard properties to language English (US) and lay-out US (International). I also had to do that on someone else his Windows 98 and 95 system.

Other advantages are that you can also combine characters automatically.

Instead of Alt+183 to get è, you can use `e typed after each other. The reason why it didn't work here is because I typed 'space e.
'e becomes é
"o becomes ö
etc
Ctrl+Alt+c ©
Ctrl+Alt+r ®

Doesn't work in Windows Me either -- looks like it's an XP feature... I can check W2k later at work...

What is the proper way of adding a copyright to a photo? I'm thinking something like:

© Roger V. Crawford 2003

Is this correct? Do you need to register it somehow? What protection does it give you?

Thanks

Basically, you own the copyright when you create the work.
To PROTECT the copyright you must put the notice on any published copies to give "reasonable notice" of your claim. There are (used to be?) pretty lenient rules on correcting "errors."
To actually sue for infringement, you must first have actually REGISTERED the work -- I think the fee is up to about $30. You should be able to register a compilation, portfolio, album, or book as a means of protecting several works under one registration (and fee) but check first -- I know this is done with sound recordings but I don't know how it works for artworks.

In case you didn't find it -- the site's FAQ lists this as the correct copyright format:

Example: © 2002 John Doe

So year before name, not after.

The FAQ for the copyright office is interesting reading, including

58 How do I protect my sighting of Elvis?

Copyright law does not protect sightings. However, copyright law will protect your photo (or other depiction) of your sighting of Elvis. Just send it to us with a form VA application and the $30 filing fee. No one can lawfully use your photo of your sighting, although someone else may file his own photo of his sighting. Copyright law protects the original photograph, not the subject of the photograph.

Perhaps more interesting is that architecture is now copyrighted, for buildings constructed after 1980. That means taking a photo of them is now copyright infringement.

Which leads in to the whole model release/property release debate.... *sigh* way to go Gordon. ;-)

If Elvis is sighted in a window of a copyright protected building and a picture is taken is he required to fill out a model release?
