Hello,
I was wondering if any of you know how to put a layer on top of a picture so that if someone tries to print it, it'll look distorted.

I know some professional photographers do this but, I'm not sure how to do this.

I'm using MAC OS X
Adobe Photoshop version CS2


Thanks,
Josh

I have never heard of someone doing this in particular but I know that most photographers add a watermark, or else they crop the photo to such a small size that it cannot be printed as even a 4x6 without distortion.

The only way someone could print it is if it's online, therefore any image online should be 72dpi, and max size of around 800-600px. This will keep short load times, and photo theft. Also add a watermark. I don't know of any "auto" watermark/distort thing.
