[original post date 2014; originally posted by Karen Miller] Are the images Whitby has posted still protected by copyright?
[original post date 2014; originally posted by Karen Miller] I have noticed that images uploaded as Zoomified do not download with the right click command. Several times users of our website history.wilmettelibrary.info have gotten in touch to ask how they can get a copy of the image for a program, or for study or whatever. I explain they have to click on "alternative image" at the top of the page to download the full image. Wilmette Public Library does not charge for use, but I tell them attribution is appreciated. Uploading zoomified images is an extra step, but might help Whitby Archives.
[original post date 2014; originally posted by Karen Miller] It is also possible to "embed" metadata in the digital image with programs like Adobe Photoshop. The metadata stays with the image but doesn't affect the appearance of the photo as watermarking does. I've found this online tutorial useful on the subject http://technicalillustrators.org/2011/04/how-to-protect-your-images-with-metadat/
