Using photoshop pfd format

[plp]

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of pixelpost. I've just created my new bloghttp://le-provost-photography.com with pixelpost and it's fantastic! Just what I've been looking for.
Now I'm concerned with protecting my photos. So far I've been using .jpg images but I would like to upload images with the photoshop PFD format so I can include the copyright (when people try to copy the image, they will get a big © sign in the middle of the picture and they will need a code to open it). The problem is that when I do that, images do not appear on the blog. There's just a blank rectangle. Is it because the photoshop PDF format is not read by pixelpost?

I also have another question : how can I change the color of the "simple" template? I just want to have it black instead of grey or white. But I don't want the "dark" template.

Thanks for you help.

try to be not too much worried about the photos you put on the net. like it or not, they will be used without your permission. try to put small jpgs 700x on the net. to protect

Dear Raminia,
Thanks for you quick reply, info and comments about my pictures. Do you think that by changing code lines in pixelpost it would accept photoshop PFD files? I read in my photoshop doc that this process was an efficient way to protect photos on the web. When you talk about "browser" do you mean Internet Explorer or Safari for instance?
Do you know of any other way to protect photos from being "borrowed"?

1) a photoblog, which is presented at the web, can only support the file formats which the browsers support

so for websites you can use .GIF or .JPG, some browsers also support .SVG now, but: each format has it's own specialiaties and .JPG is the standard for photos

2) if you want to add copyright-information, stay with JPG and use an application which can edit the EXIF-info of the JPG-file

Irfanview is doing that perfectly, www.irfanview.com

you can edit the EXIF-Info and add your copyright-info there

Thanks Raminia for your earlier info. I hadn't read all the previous messages. Your reply was so fast!
I'll follow your advice and post using small jpgs 700x

How about switching to black using the "simple" template?

top ways to keep "your" photos safe

1) web res jpegs, they only have true use on the web

2) copyright info on website

3) watermark, something on the photo, i believe one of the dev team is actually working ona watermark addon, the original plan to have this was never finished, but jeff did mention that he had on in planning over the next few weeks.

pdf format wont stop anyone that wants to pull these shots, and all it will do is slow you're photoblog down a lot

to use just the dark template, replace the style tags near the top of the code in the templates with

<style type="text/css">
@import url("templates/simple/styles/dark.css");
</style>
