Dear 3DGuy, could You please send Me the info...in confidence ...of course...about "adding inches to parts that dont need adding..."...as it is of interest to Me. Keeping in Mind Photography, I do believe that Photographers are Spammed via unscrupulous "Companies", that use a Mass Mailing List and entice Photographers into Submitting a Entry Fee into some Bogus Competition . SPAM is all about Us. ```````` And...of no interest to anyone in particular...I will relay a Story from Down Under a Week back. A popular Site in this Country is a "Buy & Sell Site" A particular NZ Professional Photographer, who Photographs for the Media, Advertising, noticed that His Photos had been turning up on this "Buy & Sell Site"...basically lifted, right click from His Site...and then the Digital Image is flipped over (back to front) and, the Scene is Painted over in Oils....thus Netting the "Painter" about US $120,000 in the 9 Months that He had been doing the "Steal & Paint" thing....He was banned from the Site...and...Banished...however, He still disappeared...with a lot of Money, a lot of Buyers, who now don't have what they thought they had.....and a Professional Photographer who has had His Images Stolen....and He receives no Address.... I rest My Case! Now that Song Joe!
