It degrade the colors. The lil dingy coming out of paint. Compared side to side. Sorry it does. Paint can't handle all the tone. It not designed too.

One things you have to concern yourself with theft. Ask Linda from Maine. We had a thief on this site stealing photos an selling on his several websites. We finally came up with his address in Colorado

I'd be careful following this advice. With few exceptions, art shows do not allow one to just "head to the show". Participation in art shows, even smaller community shows, require going through an application process which includes submitting samples of your work (including a photo of your booth setup!) to the show committee or promoter who will determine who gets in and who doesn't. At the time of your application you will have to provide your resellers permit number (tax permit). Applications are usually due months before the actual show date, as is booth fee payment. If accepted, you will be provided with a packet outlining your booth location, setup and tear down times, and information on documenting sales for purposes of paying your commission to the show (many shows take 10% or more). Selling photography at shows is decidedly more involved and takes more planning and effort than most people realize.

I'm with you on all of that except the tax # and the commission. I've never done a show yet where they've asked me for a tax ID ( just assume I will take care of it), and I've never even heard of a show taking a commission! Man, would my prices have to go up. :)

Ok, let's compare side by side. Here's a screenshot of one of your photos, next to a right-click download of it. Which is which? See any degradation there?

Interesting. Not only do most CA applications require your reseller #, but in the cases of shows out of state I have had to get a resellers permit from that state to insure I pay the sales tax there. True, never asked to show it at the show itself, but did have to include it in the application. Commission shows are not all that uncommon here in NorCal. They are usually shows run as fundraisers such as the Rotary Club or Crocker Art Museum. There are also two promoters in my area who charge a commission at all of their shows. Yes, it does play havoc with pricing!

I use Zenfolio at my website to upload, and sell my photos. www.Zenfolio.com
I upload the photos, set the prices I wish to charge for my work. Zenfolio also allows others who may be in another state a chance to view photos of an event. If you shoot a wedding, or another event, and your family or friends wish to view your photos of the event, you can send them a direct link to the event, you can also send a link to a specific photo.
Once the photos are uploaded, and the prices are set your customers can go to the website and purchase you photos in the sizes they choose, they pay for the photos on the website, so once the purchase is made you get paid for the sale.
Zenfolio allows you to select a print provider or source to print your work, I use MPIX www.MPIX, they provide a wide selection of prints from small - wall clings i.e. Fatheads. Once an order has been placed, the print provider ships the order to your customer.
You can add your copy right protection when your images are uploaded, you can also select to use "PROOF" across the images. People can still screen capture the photos, but they can't right click on the image and download your work.
You can elect to have Zenfolio notify you when a person had made a purchase on your website, and you can choose to fulfill the order by printing the order yourself. Some people prefer to deliver an order to their customers
Once you images have been uploaded your customers can select favorites, and they can share those favorites with you.
You can configure you website so to the view the images, this will also generate a customer base.
With Zenfolio you can create and customize your website to reflect your name, or the name of your company.
