Pictures Being Stolen.

He was able to download the full resolution image from Fine Art America?

He was not able to download the full resolution image from FAA. He was probably able to get the 900 pixels wide version. You don't have to be a computer expert to do that and it can be done for any web site, not just FAA. It's the cost of doing business on line. Keep in mind one important truth:

he who steals your online image was not going to buy it in the first place.

Do a reverse Google image search now and then on the images you think are most likely to get stolen.

I'm curious to know how he downloaded the full resolution image? I know people can do screen shots, especially on their phones. There's not much way around avoiding that, but full resolution would be a big concern.

Did he actually show you that he had a full sized image? I'm guessing your friend just took a screen grab of your picture from a page like this http://fineartamerica.com/featured/lonely-tribute-sharon-johnston.html got rid of the water mark and ended up with a 800 or 900 pixel wide image.

I went back and looked at the image and it is not a full resolution image ! One he screen-grabbed, the other he downloaded.. but you are right... it is not a full resolution image ! Makes me feel better... Thanks !!
