I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to computers and photo technology ( editing equipment). So I'm just wondering, If some one did post a low quality image that a person wanted to steal, could they do that and make the photo better using their computer and some software? Just asking.
Yes, they could no doubt improve it, and use it for the internet. I doubt they'd be able to make a decent A4 print though.
I've heard of cases where printed images in exhibitions & books have been photographed & used as the copiers own work. One student apparently got a lifetime ban because one of his examiners happened to be a co-author of a book he'd used to copy from. (Serves him right!) The only ways to ensure no one copies your work is to make sure no one sees it or the ensure images are degraded to the point nobody wants too. I don't see the point in either of those, so damage limitation is the way to go.
