    Hi Dave,

    I always put in the year I took the photo, My full name, and email address. Phone numbers can change, My name never will, and the email address really only costs me 9.95 a year for the domain so I can have that forever.....

    That way they can always contact you.

    In the Copyright field, I have "Copyright ©{year} Chris Laudermilk. All Rights Reserved." Which from my understanding is about the most bulletproof format.

    Additionally, in Special Instructions, I have my contact information, including my name, phone number, email, and web address. I also have the following: "The image is copyrighted by the author. In publications you must mention the name of the author 'Chris Laudermilk.'" just as another reminder. deal.gif

    Then, of couse stuff my name in Byline, Credit, and Caption Writer. I figure seeing my name in 5 separate fields should give even the densest people a clue who the image belongs to.

    Oh, this is all using the "old" "obsolete" IPTC fields, which Adobe's XMP replicates & clones to their own fields. Reading that old IIM IPTC data still seems more universal with imaging apps.
