RE: Workflows and Protection
Hi Paul - yes the language is French, and the site appears to be just a personal one, incorporating a blog, some home-spun philosophy, and links to YouTube sites and other web-sites the author finds attractive. It's almost a compliment to be ripped off by him, it seems! John in Brisbane -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of PN Stenquist Sent: Thursday, 11 December 2008 12:05 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Workflows and Protection I've found that unauthorized use of my images has only helped me gain exposure. Frequently the unauthorized user provides at least a credit. I think that making images small and marred by copyright notices only hurts one' promotional efforts in the long run. But that's just my opinion. I do demand payment if one of my images appears in a medium that is obviously part of a commercial venture, but that's rare. Most pilfered images appear only in personal and non-profit sites or are used merely for comping. I also should point out that when an image is pilfered for ad comping purposes, it may well be purchased later. But if it's so small or disfigured that it can't be used for comping, the art director will pass it up. Here's an example of an unauthorized use of one of my photos that I just discovered. Not it has a credit. I didn't complain. I just smiled: http://koah.over-blog.com/article-17859115.html By the way, does anyone know what this site is all about? I assume the language is French? Paul On Dec 10, 2008, at 12:00 AM, Doug Franklin wrote: Howdy, folks, I'm in the process of trying to automate the end-phase of my photo workflow. That is, the portion after I've pulled the image into Photoshop [Elements] or something and gotten it cropped and adjusted just so. And that's gotten me to thinking relatively deeply about things that may not yet admit deep thinking. So, I'm going to throw some ideas out to the PDML At Large and see what comes back. I want to provide myself some recourse against unauthorized reproduction. So I'm thinking about several technologies and processes to do that. In the past, my attempts have largely centered around providing images on the web that are too small (in resolution terms) to be of any real use outside the Webisphere, and not caring about uses within that environment. I'm still planning to pursue that same strategy for the stuff I make available to the world at large. Nothing more than, say, 800x600 pixels, for example. Put my copyright in the EXIF/IPTC metadata. Brand a watermark visually into the image. Stuff like that. But now it's looking like I can actually make some money from at least some of my photographic endeavors. So, I want to afford myself some more, not really protection, but recourse, ass coverage, whatever. Increase my ability to prove that I originally created an image, after that image has been cropped, resized, and otherwise mangled. So I'm thinking about several aspects of deterring unauthorized use. Phase one is to brand the images with a low-contrast modification that imposes a notice visibly on the image, and keep the published resolution impractically low. So, just how visible is too much in a watermark? We're only talking about an 800x600 image, after all. Does anyone have any experience with the pay-to-play image watermarking services? I'm also thinking about embedding additional data via steganography. Does anyone have any pointers or information about creating a proper stegano-embeddable image that's not going to either detract from the top-level image or be too detectable? Should I think about multiple stegs, with a different data set each time? Just how resilient are stegs in the face of image modifications like crops, resizes, and replacement of the brand? I'm also thinking about shaving every published image so that none of them have the outside 1-10% of the image. Theoretically, if I suspect unauthorized use, this should help me prove original ownership. But, when do I shave them? Immediately after capture? Immediately prior to publishing a particular rendering? Several times in the middle of the workflow?

Matter of fact, the smallest grid is 3x3 so if you have fewer than 9 images you end up empty squares even if you only have one small set of images. The images look good and load quite quickly for me.

PDML Book Project is go!
After a flurry of emails bouncing around the globe and a bit of last-minute html/php coding, Scott Loveless, Bill Robb and I have decided to have a go at producing a PDML photo book. So everyone start going through your shots from this year and pick out your best work! The Plan: The 2008 PDML Photo Annual (yes, we want to make this an annual publication) will be a book of photos by the PDML, plus the annual quotations list. We're going to go through Blurb.com for printing. The book will probably be 8 x 10 inch landscape format, 80-120 pages, so we expect the hardcover version to be around $45.00 and the softcover to be around $35.00. These are just estimates at the moment as actual pricing will depend on bulk purchases (and some built-in profit which we want to donate to the NCCF like we do with the PDML schwag -- http://www.cafepress.com/robertstech) Publication Date: We're aiming for early spring. Photos: Each PDML member (lurkers included!) can submit up to two shots. Deadline is tentatively January 31, 2009 or whenever we fill up the page count, whichever comes first. But we may extend the deadline (or page count) if necessary. Photos should have been shot during 2008 with a Pentax camera (although we may be willing to negotiate if you happen to have a monstrosity like some other brand camera that shoots with Pentax lenses modified to fit cough, cough). Image File Requirements: * File Format: JPEG * Color Space: sRGB (embed the ICC color profile if you can) * Maximum File Size: 3 megabytes * Rename your file with a unique file name * Image Dimensions: Max height, 2400 pixels; Max width, 3000 pixels * You may crop to any aspect ratio you like (but wide panos won't fit) * Please don't apply any sharpening to the image * Please don't add decorative borders, visible (or invisible) watermarks Some of these requirements are determined by Blurb (the color space, for example), some by the physical size of the book and some by the workflow we're planning on. The three editors are all experienced Photoshop experts and Bill and I have produced books through Blurb, so please trust us to take care of things like sharpening. Contact one of us directly if you have any questions or concerns. Note the request for a *unique* file name. We don't want things like IMGP5854 (default Pentax format) or things like untitled or really common phrases, because it will make file management difficult and raise the possibility of one person's image overwriting someone else's on the server or on our local drives. How to Submit Photos: Please don't send them by email! I've set up a web page where you can upload your photos: http://www.robertstech.com/pdmlbook.php I've tested this page on Firefox, Opera, Safari (latest versions) and Internet Explorer 5.5, 6 and 7 (it fails catastrophically on version 5 and earlier and that may or may not get fixed in the future...) If you have problems with the page please contact me. So hop to it! We want your *best* shots.

Re: GESO - The Bus Stops Here
Right you are..southeast Iowa. I once had Google Earth installed and at that time, found that the Clarinda area had not been deemed significant enough for it to be displayed in focus. I wasn't surprised. Haven't reinstalled Google Earth since my hard drive crashed and I replaced my system about a year and a half ago. If in focus, see if they've installed that commemorative plaque on the Courthouse lawn. ;) Thanks!

Re: lightroom 2 web gallery test
Thanks, Charles. Yes, in future, I'll make them bigger. This is just a first run through. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be--but I'm still a little confused on a few things related to the server space I'm using etc, but I'll sort that out on my end.

Matter of fact, the smallest grid is 3x3 so if you have fewer than 9 images you end up empty squares even if you only have one small set of images. The images look good and load quite quickly for me.

Re: PDML Book Project is go!
Mark, I'm impressed with the willingness of you, Scott and Bill to undertake such a project. Generous of you all! Hope you will allow a question having to do with the no sharpening condition. At this time, I have one 2008 shot I'd like to have included in the book. The only version I have in my files is one that's been fully PS worked and burned to CD. Sharpening was a part of the PS work. Is it a candidate for inclusion?

Re: PDML Book Project is go!
Sounds great. However, the request that photos not be sharpened is problematic. Some sharpening is part of the normal RAW conversion workflow. Perhaps you can just suggest that members refrain from excessive sharpening?

Re: GESO -- United Illuminating Power Plant (Revisited)
PJ, Those are good pictures with the tripod. We'll find a way to challenge Ralph yet! The first has the right lights and colors to make it a very nice photo. The flare is a problem...light falling on the front glass of the lens. I've seen it on the A35-105/3.5 when shooting cross sun at daybreak. Also on the A15/3.5, but that's got such a big front glass... I think you need a shade to keep the side light off of the front glass. The second shot is missing some of those night lights that give the picture interest. Just my thoughts. Regards, Bob S. On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 8:16 AM, P. J.

Thanks, Marnie. Yes, I had put up Pass Road some time back. I don't believe I've shown Attitude Sky here, but it's been a favorite of mine since shooting it several years ago.

I'd love to hear about any problems: slow downloading, dead links, web page not available et al. http://faculty.ccc.edu/caguila/photos/index.html Lovely photos, Christine. Two comments about the web gallery: - I would prefer that the large photos be a bit larger, however. At this size, they're small on even a 1024x768 screen. I find that nowadays most viewers are using screens that can handle horizontals with a 700 pixel long dimension and verticals with a 600 pixel long dimension, or thereabouts. Sizing for the general case remains something of an issue ... that's one of the reasons for moving to flash presentations and PDF presentations. - Another issue is that one of the limitations of Lightroom is that there is no control over the watermarking with respect to font, size, placement or transparency. On small sized images, it renders too large and there's no way to adjust it or the transparency. You can get around this in a couple of ways, but the best way I've tried is to leave it off and then post-process the JPEG output files with iWatermark or a Photoshop batch script if you want to watermark them. Sizing up to 600-700 pixels helps too as the font is rendered smaller in proportion to the image area.
