Sounds like this would not work on sites like here or cardomain? I am thinking some sort of watermark on the pics (I dont have Photo shop - yet)

Yep, you don't have enough control of how a picture is displayed on forums or car domain to use this trick, but it works well on personal web sites. Of course, there are ways around it but I won't say how. I'm sure the more savvy 'puter users know how anyway. A watermark is another deterrent, but I don't know of anything that is 100% foolproof.

Put a water mark across your pictures, that sometimes helps. When i upload my train pictures that i take, the website adds a banner saying its copyrighted to me, and i also put a little signature in the corner. But those can be cropped out. Here is a quick water mark type edit below, not the prettiest but you get the idea. The trick is you have to put it so it cant be cropped out

i used a free photo editor called paint.net just go to www.paint.net to download it, then all i did was used the text button and just made it more transparent.

I only brought up the plate because some people have issues with it being displayed in pics. I personally just had an issue with a business using pics of your car, displaying your plate linking you and there business when they never had your permission to use any of it.

I don't both blanking my plate in pics I post. I drive the car, everyone can see it, it's public info. I just would want a business getting my permission first before taking that liberty.

I just got caught up on this thread, sounds like the guys running that site were pretty reasonable. Glad to hear, it's a done deal and everyone is happy.
