Hey thanks for selecting my image for this weeks fav. Wow, amongst such amazing images too. Honoured.

HI, you might want to look at Photoshop elements, it has a lot of the critical things photoshop delivers, layers, actions and so on. but sits around the $200 mark.

Congrats on your recgonition, you have some great work presented.

 wow, thanks for the honor! this is very cool. I really appreciate being selected from such a strong field of images.

HI demiseo,
No problem, you can email me the info at

It will be simple request approach, nothing mean or heavy handed. I suspect most of the hobbiests don't really understand the possible impact of what they are doing and do it with fairly harmless intent, this fellow probably falls into that group.

I have been researching Digimark as a proactive path of protection and it seems a pretty inexpensive solution to tracking images on line.

thanks for the concerned heads up on the usage.

cheers,

hmmm, in this case though its a full image that is not theirs. When a person does that they have no idea what terms of the model release they might be violating, the avatar represents a person and their beliefs, or any use of the representation of the image, by extension that image comes to represent those same beliefs or at the very least is associated with it. Those might not be in line with the artist's or the images intended representation. And so on.  While its not really worth the heavy hand of god to correct it, it is worth a gentle request to stop using it.

cheers,
mark

hello, that is my image, photogmark from renderosity. I have not given anyone permission to use it. Can you direct me to who is using it? thanks. My association, Professional Photographers of America have a legal arm to deal with this type of theft.
