What is the best way to protect my photos on Facebook? - PersianPrincess - 04-08-2014 06:22 PM

I hesitate to post any photos online for privacy reasons, and I don't want people to take any of my photos without permission. I use Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends, and sometimes to network, but I'm not on it every day. Sometimes, I've gone weeks or months without being on it.

A lot of my friends post tons of photos from vacations, weddings, etc. I, on the other hand, usually ask before posting any photos because I'm uncomfortable with too many people having access to photos of me.

I would like to share some photos, and I know there are some privacy settings on Facebook. However, what I'm wanting to learn is how to protect my photos and prevent most if not all people from saving them. If someone wants a photo, they can ask me. I know disabling the right click button doesn't always work, and I'm not a huge fan of putting a watermark on all my photos.

I've read about watermarking, shrink wrapping, and slicing and dicing. I still can't decide which would be the best method. Any of ya'll with lots of computer (or photo protection) experience (Mac experience a plus) can help me out? I consider myself pretty good with computers, but nowhere near as good as the Millennial generation/computer expert range.

I know Picasa with password protection is another option.

Just protect with some setting in your profile setting, so that no one disturbed you.
