"Pro's" will deliver exactly what the customer is paying for … that's why they're professionals!

As for the rest of it … it's a balance between reducing the quality and still making any potential customer want to buy an original. If you post it on-line there's always the risk it'll get "borrowed" if it's good enough … as for enforcing copyright, be prepared to engage a good lawyer and hope the miscreant actually has the wherewithal to pay the bill … assuming you win the case with costs Also bear in mind, copyright is not a global concept. Different jurisdictions have different views on the matter (or none at all), so if your work gets "stolen" you may actually have no redress!

The wonders of the Internet, and the digital world. i wonder how people will live, if everything that you do is for free?

Anyway, I remember in a wedding asking a photographer to sell me the negative of a picture of mine, and he refuses... he said to me - it is not for sale, if you want another copy, tell me, pay me, and I print you one, and send it to you...

Maybe back then, a photographer could still make a living from taking photos...

So what do you do if you want to share/show a photo on the Internet, and earn at least a symbolic payment, r that your rights are somehow granted?

Thanks kypfer
