Sharon44 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Here's a tip:Occasionally I search the images of candles on google. This morning, I found one of my pics on someone elses site If you have an online presence, it may something you want to look at occasionally. Just hold your cursor over the image and you will see the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Been there and it is so violating. It's so important to watermark everything. If they are going to steal at least they are advertising your website and people know who they stole it from.Is there a # on the site you can call and ask them to remove it? If it's ebay don't contact the person report them right to ebay and they'll delete all of their ads:smiley2:Depending on what venue the image is located you can report them to their copyright infringement dept and it's handled pretty quick. I know most of the time people that steal are not so willing to remove their stolen content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

periwinkle Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ooooh that sucks! You can add text very simply using the edit feature on photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 http://watermark-software.com/That's what I use, I love it. You can do several images at once and even put a watermark image logo if you want instead of www.mywebsite.comIt was cheaper when I bought it but so far no issues and I've used it for a few years.

Sharon44 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks for the info. They did remove my picture, but I'm going to check out that software. I'm getting ready to have all of my photos professionally shot and I do not want them to be used by someone else!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 All my candle pics on my website are shown with the label. Its pretty hard to copy a pic to your website and claim it as yours with someone's biz name clearly written on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
