I have visited Kurt's website. Its a bit jazzy and I'd prefer not to
hear the music. But a lot of the photographs are superb and I can
understand why people might like to download and print copies. They
shouldn't republish them though.

Dan, I have some photographs that are probably too large to display on
some users monitors. The intention of the website though is to
impress visitors with the beauty of the countryside and therefore,
even if the photos are downloaded, and printed without permission, it
is part of the price of conveying an important message. I am limiting
my audience to those users who are using at least a resolution of 1024
x 768 and a display that is not smaller than 15 inches.

There is a general problem with publishing photographs and artistic
images on the Internet and that is that either the publisher is
prepared to sacrifice the quality of the published work as seen by the
user, or not. If the publisher decides that he or she would prefer
that users do see the work in the highest quality then they must be
prepared, apparently, for someone to copy their work without
permission.

Alternatively they could set up their website so that their highest
resolution images are available for a payment and access to their work
is made through completing a form. A selected crop of a full
resolution image could be made available so that users could see for
themselves what the photograph really looks like. I have done this on
the page entitled Autumn Magic on www.freshfordmill.co.uk - but
without setting up a payment facility. I have just included a complete
photo that cannot be really appreciated on the Internet and a full
size detail -that still needs to be scrolled vertically on a 15 inch
display.

If the Canadian Northwest were to be under threat from development
then Kurt's photos published at their highest resolution would be
extremely important in helping to shape public opinion.


I took a look at your site and it looks very nice. Displays well on both my
17 and 22 wide LCD monitors.
Keep in mind that the physical size of any monitor has nothing to do with
how much image it can display. Even a 13 inch monitor could display the
entire Autumn Magic image if its resolution were high enough.
Just for kicks I downloaded the Autumn Magic picture and loaded it into
Photoshop Elements 4. I applied the 'auto levels' function to the picture
and I thought it improved the image a bit. Un-doing and re-doing it seems to
remove a bit of green caste in the shadows. I did see where you said the
image was "un-retouched".
And... sticking the large copyright notice in the middle of the image will
prevent people from unauthorized use of your photographs. Especially if you
put it in an area that can not be Photoshopped cloned.
