Community @ The Turning Gate

Thanks, Rod. Actually, I have been using css for years.  I've been looking for code to make the background tile in the Page Copy area and am not succeeding. I ahve also e-mailed you privately.

Take care,

Thanks to both of you, Daniel and Rod...

Daniel, I changed the code for the background, but as Rod pointed out, the base image is quite small...

Yes, but as with the regtular background, it is meant to be tiled.

Through some hit and miss, I did succeed with the font size -- challenging, since I am used to pt not rem.  No matter, I won that round, albeit in a round-about way.  I could not find exactly the css in exactly which that pesky (to me) code that you so nice noted resides:

html {
    font-size: 16px;
    text-rendering: optimizelegibility;
    -ms-touch-action: manipulation;
        touch-action: manipulation; /* remove 300ms delay in some browsers */
}

Sorry to be such a dunce.  Having started out in straight HTML, graduating to php and Dreamweaver long before Adobe gobbled it up, this inspector stuff flummoxes me, although I taught myself html and web design through View Source.

Take care,

More mark-up knowledge to add to my old html and php.  This was easy and worked just as well.

None, because I have not yet been able to figure out the phplugins for Backlight with our busy schedule!  We are away far more than we are home! Unless... ... I added ttg's in error, not knowing what it would do ... Yup, I knew I had done something terribly wrong.  After all, I give ttg credit in the footer along with a link.

You never cease to amaze me at how quickly you target the issue.

Now, to get my tag line to indent more.

Take care, and thanks!

It used to be that you could copyright a whole year (assuming you had not done so at least every 90 days) with one $55 fee. Now, there is a limit on the number of images you can copyright for that $55 fee.

As to Pixsy, I have heard about it. When I signed up for Copytrack, a similar service that goes after the infringers on your behalf, Pixsy wsn't around yet. For those who are following this thread, I would check out independent reviews and decide what is best for you.

That is good to hear about Sierra. I'll look into it and pass along the information about Sierra to our alumni,

Thanks, and

Take care,

I wrote a blog some years back that has been updated periodically called "© is for Copyright" at

http://www.BCphotoadventures.com/blog/2 … copyright/

There are also a number of other blogs on associated subjects such as how to create copyright preset in LR and PS.

Many of you here may find it interesting. Over the years, I have put a lot of time into helping strengthen the laws and educating photographers, art directors, designers, etc. about them, even as far away as Australia!

Arnie and I have used Digimarc for quite some years, since 1998. It is an individual, digitally-embedded watermark. That has helped us catch a number of infringements and resulted in some paid invoices! We have not had to go to court, since we do register our images through eCO, the electronic Copyright Office, and all we have to say to the infringer is that the image is registered with the US Copyright Office, and if they would like to go to court, there is no question that the image is ours, and they will have the priviledge of paying not only our fees, but damages, i.e. court costs. We have even succeeded with overseas infringements because of the Berne Convention. I don't want to get into a long discussion here, but we feel protecting your copyright is very important. Frankly, I am not enamored of people trying to make money off our images!

I have created Actions in Photoshop for each copyright year, and all I have to do is click on the appropriate button.  I don't find it a pain, as I only need it for exporting, and then I save it and send it along to the desired destination. For me, it is worth the extra 30 seconds or less to do it. And if I have a whole bunch of images to do, I do the same-year ones, batch process in PS, then go to the next year.

Take care,

Excellent, Rod. Ultimately, I settled on 16:7, and it works perfectly. Thank you ever so much.

For others who are interested in this topic, here is another pano gallery done with Galleria:

Take care,

I think I missed the aspect ratio whose location  I can never remember.  I'll go on a hunt!  We are in the middle of teaching a Lightroom workshop in Charleston, and I have mentioned The Turning Gate as a fabulous resource along with Jeffrey Friedl.  I'll do so again tomorrow and show those who do their own websites what one can do.  Hopefully, I can share the panos, too.

As alwaYS, THANKS,

John,

It is actually Mogrify2.  Between The Turning Gate and Jeffrey Friedl, I have almost all I need for Lightroom. I did create the watermark image in Photoshop, and as I said before, Digimarc.  The latter I do with a batch process of actions I have created along the way, filtering for copyrights of YYYY year and processing them together, opening them up in PS CC when done.

All are HUGE time savers. With our workshops (that's the next site I have to attack), we are more than busy, and since my husband's talents do not go to the computer realm, the less I have to do "by hand" and the more time I can devote to other tasks and to actually get out and photograph! What a conce4pt!

Thank you so much for checking out the galleries and reporting back.

Take care,

Rod, I'll check again tomorrow and let you know exacly where I previously found a challenge.

Thanks again,
