How do you encrypt a picture?

[JAZZIE]

I am seeking instructions (if available) to encrypt photos that I post on my
website so that visitors will NOT be able to copy them. Anyone?

Although this is not an issue related to Publisher in particular, I believe
the general wisdom is that anything you put on a website can be copied.

Based on what I've both read and experienced, my suggestions would be:

1. Post the lowest resolution image that will accurately represent your work
on a computer monitor.

2. Watermark the image with PhotoShop or another image manipulation program
that has a watermarking function.

Jazzie,

Just to add a little to Bruce's good suggestion, you might also think about
the
copyright of your work.

I don't know where you live, but here in the UK you can apply the
'Copyright' law. Technically any work that you do, is yours and can be
subject to this law. But just to define it, you should mark your work with
the copyright symbol © add your name and date it. You should also print off
a copy of your work, put it in an envelope and mail it to yourself. When it
arrives it will have the date stamp on it, don't open it, just keep it
somewhere safe, your work is then subject to copyright from that date.

However, none of this is foolproof because people can and do still copy your
work and if you find anyone has done this, you have to decide if you want to
bring
the law of copyright into play and you have to prove that they have breached
it....bit of a hassle
I know and could be expensive. But, by displaying the symbol, it can make
people
think twice before they copy your work and it could be a deterrent. The flip
side of this of
course is that you have to make sure that all the work you have, including
pictures, are in fact yours, or that you have permission to use them.
