Thanx Richard, you have been very helpful. What is your opinion of selling images thru a website? Is it worth the effort? Be honest. I have not made my decision yet, whether I want to do it or not. Ballpark the amount of time & effort it would require. Again, thanx, TrisheBear

Good idea to look at the program, it should answer any of your concerns.
Even if a person could download an image they would not get an image large
enough to print out at any useful size, it has to go through the purchase
process in order to get the full digital file. You also have the option of
adding a water mark to any displayed photos.
