Photo Slideshows

There are many times when you are worried about sharing your photos online. There are many reasons for this, and I have ran into a few of them. If you are on a fan site of some sort, you may want to show your concert or other photos, but you don’t want anyone taking them. This might sound silly, but there are good reasons why this might be a problem for you. If you are sharing photos of your children, you might want to be sure some weirdo isn’t saving them to their hard drive for Lord knows what. Photo slideshows can help you protect those pictures.

In most cases, when you put your pictures in photo slideshows, they normally will be right click protected. This is not the same for all services, so make sure you know before you share. I know that I can do this with my photo slideshows on Photo Bucket and Picture Trail, but ones on Shutterfly aren’t always protected. Though there are other ways to steal photos, many don’t know how to swipe them. If you aren’t concerned, you can do what you want, but if you want to keep them safe from others, you should make sure the account has this right-click protection. 

If you aren’t sure if you want to protect your photos this way or not, there are a few things you should ask yourself. First of all, if they are pictures of children, you should always protect them. Granted, they can’t really harm your child with a photo, but they can use it to track them down. They might be able to remember what your child looks like from a picture, but you know they can find them if they know where to look and they can look at a printed picture for reference. Also, you don’t know what some of these people are doing while they are looking at pictures they have gathered online. 

I have found that I also want to protect other pictures, even when they don’t contain children. I have taken photos at a show for children. Even though there were no photos of the children, I protected them with photo slideshows anyway. In the past, people have taken my photos and posted them on their sites, and these sites were full of material I did not want to be associated with. No one knew it was my picture but me, but that was all it took. This is why I use photo slideshows to protect any and all pictures that I share online.
