I was wondwering if anyone knows of a mod that will make the photos stolen is there are stolen from our site. I have heard there are a couple of them out there that do that. Anyone know where I can get a mod that will mark the photo.<

Are you trying to watermark the images, or prevent hot linking directly to the images?<

Infranview is a very good free image editor which will watermark your photos...

Unfortunately there is no way to stop determined people from stealing your photos. There are ways to make it more difficult but not to stop it. The bottom line is, if it can be seen in a browser, it can be stolen. <

while I agree that IrfanView is a great program, I think Gizmo3 is looking for something integrated with the forum to automatically watermark upload images and/or prevent hot linking.<

Yes that is right. I am looking for something that will water mark any photos that have been taken from the forum. It would have to be intergtaed into the forum I think unless theer is another way.<

There was a pretty good discussion on the subject of stolen photos not too long ago. While it doesn't concern a mod, per se, it might still be helpful. LINK<

Thanks fopr finding that Soar, I didn't re-read the entire thread but in summary - I did write my own .Net code to watermark images, but then I found Coppermine and I use that now. TONS more features than I even wanted, and no need to code all the features I do want.<

being a PHP based application, that wouldn't be something that integrates with the base Snitz code. I really think he's looking for something that works with Snitz... just waiting for him to respond.<

If your server has the Persits AspJPEG component installed, you can use ASP to generate thumbnails and watermark images (works with jpeg, gif, and a few others... only used it for those, however). Here's the code I used for one of the sites I did. I don't remember how much of it is mine and how much came from elsewhere, but consider it free for public use.
<%
Response.Expires = 0

' create instance of AspJpeg
Set Jpeg = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Jpeg")

'### Path to your image
'path = "c:\websites\mywebsite\images\" & Request("path")

' Open source file
Jpeg.Open(path)

'### Check if we're resizing and set height and width appropriately
if Request("res") <> "" then
	if Request("res") = "lo" then
		Jpeg.Width = 600
		Jpeg.Height = Jpeg.OriginalHeight * Jpeg.Width / Jpeg.OriginalWidth
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Color = &H000000 ' Red
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Family = "Courier New"
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Bold = True
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.BkMode = "Opaque" ' to make antialiasing work
		Jpeg.Canvas.Print Jpeg.Width - 330, Jpeg.Height - 30, "(C)2006 YOUR COMPANY"
	elseif Request("res") = "thumb" then
		if jpeg.OriginalWidth > jpeg.OriginalHeight then
			jpeg.Width = 80
			jpeg.Height = jpeg.OriginalHeight * jpeg.Width / jpeg.OriginalWidth
		else
			jpeg.Height = 80
			jpeg.Width = jpeg.OriginalWidth * jpeg.Height / jpeg.OriginalHeight
		end if
	else
		Jpeg.Width = Request("res")
		Jpeg.Height = Jpeg.OriginalHeight * Jpeg.Width / Jpeg.OriginalWidth
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Color = &H000000 ' Red
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Family = "Courier New"
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Bold = True
		Jpeg.Canvas.Font.BkMode = "Opaque" ' to make antialiasing work
		Jpeg.Canvas.Print Jpeg.Width - 330, Jpeg.Height - 30, "(C)2006 YOUR COMPANY"
	end if
else
	Jpeg.Width = Jpeg.OriginalWidth
	Jpeg.Height = Jpeg.OriginalHeight
	Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Color = &H000000 ' Red
	Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Family = "Courier New"
	Jpeg.Canvas.Font.Bold = True
	Jpeg.Canvas.Font.BkMode = "Opaque" ' to make antialiasing work
	Jpeg.Canvas.Print Jpeg.Width - 330, Jpeg.Height - 30, "(C)2006 YOUR COMPANY"
end if

' Perform resizing and
' send resultant image to client browser
Jpeg.SendBinary

%>
That's the code exactly as I used it (minus the changes made to protect the innocent). Hope it helps.

EDIT: To call the image, save the above as thumb.asp and use the following syntax, replacing the red with your image name:
<img src="thumb.asp?path=image.jpg">

Like laser said, he wrote some .net code to do basically the same thing. I haven't ever used it, but it should work without a component as long as your host supports asp.net. Try checking google for asp.net watermarking scripts. I'm sure there should be some out there.<

It should be free to download the .NET framework, so there's no reason not to have it if you are your own host. Don't have to let anyone else know about it. <

hm... I thought .NET was a completely other server software of some kind =) I think I have the .NET framework installed. I'm on a win2k server and everything's updated as it should.
I'm gonna have to do some reading I think hehe..
I've never done anything with .NET and didn't think I could use it on my server so I never even thought about it..

Laser: can your code make thumbs and rename them also? =)
