My odd how-to question....

I want to present a jpg and/or gif image to a client after "fixing" it with
Photoshop.
They will pay me for the image AFTER approval so it may take more than one
attempt to please the client.
Does anyone have any good ideas for how to present the image in a degraded
way so the client cannot save it without paying for it?
The only idea I have so far is to crop it in half and present them with a
partial image or ask them to pay upfront.
Your thoughts and ideas are welcome.
Thanks!

I say always get a deposit that covers at least your actual costs. Any
client that won't pay a deposit won't pay the final
get a sign a contract
or at least an estimate approved by a person with authority to pay (large
companies will require a purchase order and your tax ID)
You use Elements for professional output??
I think it cannot output CMYK?? seps?

In article <TGYpg.1899$ye3.1535@newsread1.news.pas.earthlink.net>,
Well, a JPEG is always degraded.
What is the goal of this image? What will your client use it for? If
your client will use it for print, you should present them with a TIFF
when you're done, not a JPEG or GIF. In that case, you can present the
client with a low-resolution image for approval, then present the
high-resolution only when you're paid.
If the image is for Web use, then you should probably present both an
uncompressed image and a compressed image as the final, so that the
client can make the choice about what level of JPEG degradation is
acceptable. In such a case, you can present a printout, or a watermarked
image, for approval.
However, the way to beat this problem before it occurs in the first
place is not to do work for clients you don't trust.

There's probably a way to do the same thing using Elements!

Ooops. I should have mentioned I'm using Photoshop Elements. But you've
given me a great idea. Thanks!

Hi.
It is probably not much consolation.
If you cannot trust the Client not to steal the Image, how can you be sure
you will ever get paid.
Are you going to withold the finished image until after his cheque clears?
Or are you going to insist on a cash payment with the handovers being done
in a very public place, just like in some spy movie.
Get yourself a better class of client.
