With more and more people having access to digital photo editing software and online image processing stores, the issues of copyright and intellectual property are becoming increasinly important to professional photographers.
One technique that photographers use to protect their copyright is to only provide small file size / low resolution images for customers to preview. While this technique prevents the customer from printing high quality images themselves, it also reduces the quality and therefore the appeal and desire to purchase the photographs.
Another, more popular, technique is to use watermark software. Adding a picture watermark ensures that you are marking your copyright on each image and means that you don't have to compromise quality of image when giving customers a preview disc / web slideshow.
There are several free photo watermark software sites available for you to use. Well worth stamping your mark on your work to protect your copyright.
