I don't know that anything I have is worth anything financially but I do want the credit. My name or my father's name accompanying every properly used use of the photo. Right now, two things are on the horizon. I'm transcribing my father's trip diary from a trip he took in 1936, and I'm scanning the photos he took on the trip. I'm his only surviving heir. And my mother left everything he left her to me. Does that mean I myself have any rights regarding these things? Even if I have no rights to the pictures, since no one can get into my house and copy them, I have the vague idea that I'd have rights to the scanned copy I plan to make of them, for posting online, and that those rights would last as long and be as strong as if I'd taken the pictures myself. Am I right at all? And how do I post these pictures and the separate text to Instagram, Imgur, or Flickr without losing my copyrights? In real life terms you can't: "Instagram does not claim ownership of any Content that you post on or through the Service. Instead, you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or through the Service, subject to the Service's Privacy Policy" The wordings may have been changed but hardly the practical implications. I was afraid of that. Is there any way before I post it to write over in the corner of the pictures my father's name or my name? And the copyright symbol? That would not make your rights exclusive. And: https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/08/g...utomatically-a nd-perfectly-erase-watermarks-on-stock-photos/ Or: http://tinyurl.com/y88mrfvx I hate writing things in the corner and when it was chemical and not reversible, I never put the date in the corner of a picture. I think it ruins the art. But most of these pictures are more about history than art anyhow. Come to think of it, they should have the date printed on them too, for the record, and if I'm going to do that, I can put my father's name, assuming there is a method not too expensive to do that. I think there are between 40 and 80 photographs. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=free+watermark+software&ia=images http://www.copyrightlaws.com/instagr...are-the-terms- of-use/ For Erich: http://tinyurl.com/ybws4hb8 Mo https://duckduckgo.com/?q=instagram+copyright&ia=web -- teleportation kills |

Just click on the Text insertion point, then click inside the picture, and then paste my pre-written text, much of which will be the same from one instance to another (father's name, month, year) and one line will give the location. |

How do you post things on Instagramr without losing one's copyright?
PeterN:
Unlike some other folk here, I understand enough about the subject, to know that I am not an expert on copyright law. Exactly so. It's not much of an issue for me as a photographer, as I display on the Internet under a Creative Commons license‹and I display only my own work. But my wife is a writer and she devotes considerable effort to ensuring that her works do not include material owned by others. Current question: "riddles." A book she's working on contains some riddles. Or it will if she can establish that they are merely popular lore and not the copyrighted work of an author/joke writer. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Most copyright expire after 70 years but it would still be fraud claiming older work as your own and thus stealing copyrights for for another 70 or something years. Any work cited to such an extent that make copyright come into play should thus be attributed as correctly both in time and to author as possibly. You do as always have the citation rights, of course... -- teleportation kills |

I seriously doubt that you will have much protection if you use Instagram, or Imgur regardless of what might be stated in their terms of service. Using ether of those and you are effectively surrendering any rights you might hold. https://help.instagram.com/478745558852511 https://imgur.com/tos Flickr, and other sites such as Smugmug probably afford you better protection of your rights, but that does not mean that they will not be vulnerable to image poachers. https://www.flickr.com/services/api/tos/ The protection in SmugMug is up to the user. When I create a gallery I check off a number of preferences in "Settings". One of them is in "Photo Protection" and it allows me to enable or disable "Downloads". While I allow downloads, I'm under no illusion that disabling downloads would totally prevent anyone from grabbing my photo. I don't watermark By watermark, you're including both dim images and clearly-visible ones? By "watermark" I mean adding anything intended to prevent someone from being able to use the photo as shot. It's usually done in digital images by superimposing some image - either just diagonal lines, text, or a design - over the original image and reducing the opacity of the layer. The term comes from the paper industry, not from photography, and has been done since the 11th Century. Watermarks were originally produced by stamping the paper when it was still wet in the manufacturing process so the resulting change in the thickness of the paper created a shadow image. I wondered how they did that. When you held up a sheet of good quality paper to the light you'd see "20% Rag Content" as a watermark. Back when it was popular to have studio portraits taken, the studio would provide a selection of photos and the customer would choose which ones to print and at what size to print them. The photos in the selection would have PROOF in large letters on each selection so you'd have to pay them for a print without that. That was functionally a watermark. I remember those days. Was it before that or after that that the proofs would fade away, I guess because they didn't use fixer. Now, I watch one TV court show and suits between brides and photographers are not rare, often when the photographer is an amateur trying to become a pro. But I don't think any cases involve watermarks. or add a copyright text line to my photographs, either. If some stranger wants to appropriate one of my photos, I don't give a rat's ass. If he can't do better than I can on my own, he needs all the help he can get. As I worked on this thread, I realized that it would be great if any of them got recirculated, and all I want is my father's name or mine, the month, and the year in a corner of the picture. Which is the best corner?= Just add text to photograph that identifies you or the subject and the date taken. Locate it anywhere on the photo where it is not intrusive. If you don't have Photoshop, the free FastStone Image Viewer ( http://www.faststone.org/ ) allows you to add text in caption form to a photograph using the Draw Board. The caption is then embedded in the photo. Thanks. I'll try it. I just did this in FastStone as a demo. https://photos.smugmug.com/AUE-Temp/...O/ABC-1942.jpg That is me, but I have no idea what the kitten's name was, but you seem to like "Fluffy" so I used that. Fluffy is a good name for a kitten. I'd forgotten that you lived in Indiapolis, where I lived from age 10 to 18. You're also older than I am, I see. (I'm 70.) |
