Text Overlay over Photograph

We all know that photographs over the internet can be stolen and modified without permission. After many debates, we've decided to include an option where you can include a text overlay over you images to better protect them against thieves.

This is just a preliminary action to give you the possibility to protect your photos. Over the time we will include options such as personal overlay and different overlay modes to fit everyones needs.

Here is a short extract of the copyright internation law:

The © symbol, or any other marking, is not required. It was required in the U.S. before 1989, but adoption of the Berne Convention removed this requirement, as copyright is now automatic. However, it is still optionally used as means of identifying the copyright owner, along with the date of creation. You don't have to include the © with your photo, but the addition of "© 2006 Joe Bloggs" tells everyone that Joe Bloggs hereby declares copyright ownership of this photo since 2006.

The © symbol is technically a lower-case letter "c" with a circle around it. On a computer keyboard, the symbol is typed by holding down the "option" key and the pressing the letter "g". On a web page, use the HTML tag "©".

Similarly the phrase "All rights reserved" is not required. It was once required to assert international rights but was made redundant by the Berne Convention.
