New copyright style. - 01-02-2008, 07:11 AM


I didn't know where to post this, but I was wanting to get a lot of opinions so I figured the most people would be looking in here.
This is the deal. I've changed up my copyright on my photos a bit to see if I couldn't make them a little bit more difficult to... acquire. So what do you think? does this work? Is it too much?

p.s.
Oh... is the exif data staying intact?

If you made it in PS CS2/3 go to layer>styles>bevel and emboss. and add a bevel or emboss to the layer. will make it just a bit more difficult to remove and easier to see.


PS and yes the exif data is there.

Like this?
I added a drop shadow as well as the bevel and emboss. (I got to say, it makes it easier to read, and I like the look better.)

yup, the emboss/drop shadow adds a lot of readability as well as security.

For customer proofs, something like this is fine (and probably a good idea). For photos you want to post here or elsewhere for feedback, I think it's pretty obnoxious.

I agree ... I might choose more of a sans serif font as well for readability

(I'm at work now... so can't play with the picture here)

Sans serif font - noted.

What would one recomend for here? Something that isn't too obnoxious, but still isn't something easily removed unless you're Jezabel?
