Question

I have put a picture (that i took,downloaded and put into my photo gallery) in a contest on the internet how do i put a copy/right or claim on that picture so noone can still it from me?

Answer 1

If you have photoshop or a photo editing program, you can insert a copyright symbol (google image search copyright symbol) and put your name after it somewhere on the picture, then resave it and it should be embedded into the picture and it will be hard to steal.

Answer 2

You need a watermarking program for your pictures.
