If you paint a picture or take a photograph, the copyright to the image is yours as the author. In the UK this right extends to 70 years after your death. If you publish an image on the internet, where everyone might see it, then it can be copied. The usual method of copying is to right click on the image whilst viewing it and download it using 'save image as'. The two images below demonstrate a method of discouraging the theft of pictures. If you display a copyright symbol or some other notice then the thief has to PhotoShop the image to remove it. This may be a deterrent in a lot of cases as the time taken isn't worth the hassle. Be aware that if the image is displayed anyone CAN copy it, you can only discourage copying by informing the viewer that it is a copyrighted image, or defacing it with a symbol. Some social networking websites have also declared that they can use images published on their website for their own advertising etc.. To avoid this don't publish your image on facebook or myspace or istagram or any other website with punitive terms of use protected image the © symbol may be any form even a transparent 'blank' normal image right click and try and 'save image as' on both pictures in the top case you get   downloaded version of top image downloaded version of unprotected image see also modify - resize background
