Something I think ALL photographers should know about!
Action is needed from as many people as possible to prevent our current copyright law/protection from becoming worthless. Please help prevent the single most damaging bill for artists of every venue - but especially visual artists like graphic designers and photographers! A bill, dubbed "Orphan Works," legislation was hotlined through the Senate this week while all eyes were on the financial issues.
The "Orphan Works" bill, as passed in the Senate yesterday, would rob thousands of people of their copyright protection, and allow any outside person/corporation to TAKE OUR WORK and use it, with NO COMPENSATION to the original artist, as long as they claim they "couldn't find" the copyright-holder. That is a simple matter of removing our name from a file, then the work can be dubbed "orphaned" and used WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION for ANYTHING they want to use it for! This bill would also force us to "register" EVERY SINGLE PIECE of our work with private registries, which could cost thousands of dollars for photographers and graphic artists, as we produce literally thousands of works each year! (Think about how many pictures a professional photographer takes in just ONE WEEK or how many graphics can be produced in ONE DAY!)
PLEASE pass this along to everyone you can - this is extremely critical, as this bill will deprive artists, photographers, etc. of the income they depend on!
The Senate has just passed their version of the Orphan Works Bill (on Sept. 26th). Now we must try to stop the House Judiciary Committee from folding their bill and adopting the Senate version. Here is a link to a special letter for this purpose.
PLEASE EMAIL CONGRESS NOW!! USE THIS LINK

How To Use the Templates
This is a basic tutorial for the templates. I will be leaving this information posted for those of you that have purchased my templates in the past. If you have any questions about using the templates, contact me at neilcreative @ aol dot com (no spaces).
This is a very brief "How To". My templates are based on image masks, so if you know how to use image masks you're set. If not, they're not hard to learn. There are a few screen captures below as a rough idea of how to use these.

- The first layer of my files are filled with white, delete this layer, it's to reduce file size for emailing purposes.
- Drag or paste your photo into a new layer in the template.
- Drag your photo to the layer below the layer named image mask.
- Drag the image mask onto your image.
- Delete the layer named image mask - once the image mask is placed on your photo you don't need the layer.
- To adjust the size of your photo without adjusting the mask - turn off the "lock" between your photo and the image mask.
