I've been debating about what to do with the scan. By this,
should I put a huge watermark across it for the blog, or just let it go, as is?
If I put a huge watermark across it, number one, I personally don't like
looking at things with huge watermarks across it. It's ugly. Two, what's the
point? Anyone who is halfway decent at photoshop can remove the watermark.
Think there's even special software which allows you to remove watermarks. So
what would be the point of watermarking? A dedicated pirate undoubtedly has
more skills than me and can undo the watermark which took me a couple of seconds
to put on in about the same time.
People put watermarks because they don't want to see their
work published all over the internet. That's true of the ALIEN contact sheets.
I don't want to see the individual frames of the contact sheet blown up and all
over the net. Why? Because they haven't been published. If 20th Century Fox had
published them, it would be a different story. You are looking at something
which has already been published, so the quality of my upload is irrelevant.
The material is out there. But... what I've finally realized... the best way to
stop folks form publishing it is to upload it in low resolution.
I don't know if there is a point in uploading the Tavoularis
in lo res. Rinzler published the boards in his book. They weren't the greatest
quality because the work Rinzler had was originally skewed photographs. I know,
because that's the only time I copied them...
