Help what? Help sooth the hysteria of some people that their artwork is being stolen? I do not want to restrict my pictures to 800x600 just because some people are paranoid. If those people wish to protect their pictures, they should use watermarks and resize to 800x600 - but I will leave Renderosity the moment that such matters are forced on all of us, because some of us can't live with the thought of someone saving their files and taking a look at them on their harddisk or can't live with the problem, that some people steal artwork for their pages. This whole thing is a hot-air-debate, blown up by a few people. Renderosity always makes a big fuzz about their 144.000 or more customer base. Well, how many made a fuzz about stolen pictures? 100? That's less than 1% of the community. For those of us, who wish protection, there are possibilities: Watermarking or reducing the size. Those methods must be enough. I have no such paranoia and I wish to be able to upload my pictures any goddamn size that was possible up to now, with or without watermarking, the way I WISH THEM TO BE. Not the way that those very few people wish them to be.
