safe guarding photos
I was wondering if anyone knew of any software available for securing
photo viewing. My cousin had shown me some photos of her dance recital that were taken by a photographer. They were able to pick and purchase certain photos from this photographer after viewing the photos on the cd. The disk that the photos were contained on had an expiration date which did not allow any further viewing of photos after that particular date. The photos were also in bitmap and did not allow for conversions or adjustments which discouraged downloading the photos from the cd by the viewer. Just wondering if there was software that would do this or if the photographer created the software onhis own. I have wedding photos that still need to be viewed by guests and finding this software would definitely make the process easier! Thanks in advance! |

I suspect it's proshow gold... allows you to set a specific number of days that you can view it; then a password to unlock it after that. Ken |

Of course they can't get anything better than the version of the image you put on the disk -- screen resolution, not printing resolution, I'd hope. So don't worry about it! Go for convenience instead, that'll make a *much* bigger difference in sales. Maybe. Or it might use the technology that they used to use on terraserver some years ago. It encrypted the data and used a special viewer that somehow avoided all attempts to screen capture.

How about change your computer date to avoid the expiration date.

Which means a number of people can't view it *at all*. Yes, well you can see they have changed their business model. Before some people could see an exact screen image of what they would buy, and paying unlocked it. Now you just see a very low resolution screen image and buy on faith that the full resolution will be acceptable. Besides, I can probably do screen capture. I can *certainly* do screen capture while running VMware under Linux -- because I do the screen capture at the X level rather than the windows level. No. You would have been one of the people who just couldn't see the data, because there wasn't a Linux plugin to decrypt the data. If you had enough time, I suppose you could capture the packets (in Windows) and do a brute force decryption on them. I saved a number of terraserver pictures with no trouble, I don't remember them having done anything special (they may have done different things at different times). terraserver.microsoft.com (now terraserver-usa.com) has always had free unprotected public domain images. terraserver.com is a completely different company, and they have always had paid access. 4 years ago to the day: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...dm=8pltlk%244d 9% 241%40mailint03.im.hou.compaq.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq% 3Dg:thl1662561309d%26dq%3D%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie% 3DUTF-8%26selm%3D8pl tlk% 25244d9%25241%2540mailint03.im.hou.compaq.com http://tinyurl.com/6mrch Huh, wasn't I in that thread?

Yes, but he didn't capture the high res images, only the low res preview. No one in that thread was able to capture un-munged hi res images using any method. Bob -- Delete the inverse SPAM to reply |
