Sending to all groups that allow Journal entries also :)) I have just stumble across this little plugin for Mozilla Firefox and was thinking that some may find this interesting to know. I am almost certain that there is a plugin for Internet Explorer also. Quoted from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8922 / TinEye is a reverse image search engine. The plugin adds a right-click menu item that allows you to search for an image to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. Notice the 2 most important parts above that I have highlighted in Bold Now, I know that most will have checked/ticked the option “Discourage people from right-clicking or saving my images by placing a transparent image over the top of them”. / For a few minutes, you can uncheck this option whilst you check if any of your images are being used elsewhere on the big WWW. PLEASE REMEMBER – Your images on the Internet are “never” safe from being stolen, not even from RedBubble. I am actual proof of this as only about a month or so ago, someone in a group (not on RedBubble, don’t panic) from Yahoo actually “proved a point” to me that my images were NOT safe on RedBubble and they actually proved it to me by attaching it to an email. For sure, it was mine. RedBubble was then, the only placed it could have come from !! / Please don’t read this wrong, I am not putting RB down in any way at all, I LOVE RedBubble as much as the next person. I am just letting you know that your images/artworks/photographs are “never” safe. / He had found out by the “keywords” that I was using and a little magic using some HTML knowledge to grab a larger version and get around the “clear.gif” image thing. / I was infact pretty miffed at this at the time, BUT in the long run, if it wasn’t registered to me, what could I prove ??? Just make sure that you add your name/copyrights to the EXIF data through your editing application. This will help :))) Which, I might add, is something that I still have to remember to do LOL Go to – http://www.tineye.com/plugin for both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browser plugins Anyhow, I hope this comes in useful for some

About This Group

Please Note.
The group is open for photographers in the UK, Ireland, and the Channel Islands only.

Richard, Lindsay, and Irene, welcome you to the Bargain Shooters Group.

If you are looking for ways to save money in pursuit of your photography, then this is the only group that seriously helps the Bargain/Budget Photographer .
Here, you can see what can be achieved from secondhand equipment, internet bargains, homemade equipment, free software, and making use of what is around you, by using your imagination.

The Forums are our learning centre, where you can share your knowledge and tell everyone about any equipment you have made, your bargain buys from Ebay or any other online store, your favourite free software that you use, and how you have used your imagination by using ordinary things you find around you.
In fact anything that you have saved money with.
We are all here to help each other, especially in these lean times.

Looking forward to seeing what all you Bargain Shooters come up with.

Richard, Lindsay, and Irene.
