    The point I was attempting to make, was that other commercial sites have photos of dance events, which are either completely viewable, or are much less intrusive, that's all. It's a comparison, nothing more.

    Well you certainly seem to be having bad feelings, but then you didn't go.

    You certainly do have a lot of opinions/comments about events... its such a shame you don't attend events as much as you opinionate about the effects of the events. IMHO

    The dancing at events is so much more enjoyable than commenting on it afterwards especially if you didn't actually go.

    Yo u have a right to an opinion but I'd rather see you out there dancing than keep on talking about others doing it.

    Unfortunately, I have health issues. Commenting is about all I can do at the moment.

    Anyway, who's this Alec Myers person? He sounds a bit weird if you ask me.

    Not disagreeing with that - as I said, I'm not sure how relevant my point was. Ideally they should be toned down purely to make them more viewable.

    Photo sales generally are higher when using watermarked images. So, if photography is your income, you would have every reason to watermark your images. Not every owner of a commercial site realises this, which is possibly why there are sites containing non-watermarked images. Another reason could be because they don't know how (& yes, there are fabulous scripts for Photoshop CS2 which will do this, handling portrait and landscape images).

    Not sure why sales are lower - perhaps a low-res version viewable on a PC/Mac is enough for some people, rather than needing a print - and others just print it out anyway as a pixelated postage stamp. And the earlier suggestion for scanning in a purchased print is a definite breach of the Copyright Act.

    Re: Pics and Ceroc logos

    It's worth clarifying that the Luminous Frog (Jive Addiction) photo web site does have unmissable watermarks in the middle of their photos – the main difference is that, compared to those on the CerocPhotos web site, you can still clearly see the subject of every photo.

    Both web sites appear to use the same software package – Gallery – which, I believe, has the ability to automatically watermark images without very much extra effort.

    (I also agree that the quality of the photos on the CerocPhotos web site is far superior to those on the Luminous Frog web site.)
