Hi all,
I bought Clare sexy boudoir photo shoot for her birthday which she went for last week. You only get a couple of prints and then a disc containing the rest of the photo's but these are encypted to prevent copy or prints. Anyone know if these discs can be "unlocked" so we can print the photo's and perhaps share them on here ;)

It can be cracked but just depends on what kind of protection is on it as to how long it would take.
If man/woman made it then man/woman can crack it
If its a winrar or a win-zip file then there are programs out there (goggleisyour pal) that will do it.
All depends on how long and what characters it has as a password protecting it tho.

There is of course the question of copyright ..... unless the photographer has waived his/her rights they still own the pictures

If you are just looking to keep them on your PC then using windows Prt Sc key is probably the easiest if not highest quality route.
When the pic you want is in view and as big as you can get it, hit 'prt sc' then open a photo editing programme (serif photoplus free edition is great for this) and paste the screen capture, save as a jpeg et voila :rascal:
As staggs says you may be breaching copyright law in doing this so be warned. I have heard of photographers selling photo shoot packages and not mentioning you must then pay for prints ontop of the initial fee, even saying 'free photo prints' in adverts then giving you two and asking for money for the rest, that IMO is a bit naughty!

If you use Alt+Prt Sc you just get the active window, not the whole desktop. ;-)

Hadnt thought of the copyright factor...
Will have to wait and see what it all says when they turn up.
Copyright, Schcopywright, I have had enough already.
We had the same thing with school photos of the kids. We got one print and some copies on a disc that we had to pay for (they were password protected). We could view them but not print.
If you have MS Office 2010, then you can select Alt+S and make a selection of the photo and its current resolution in order to print it.
For the avoidance of doubt - it is breaking the copyright as the pictures do still belong to the photographer... but quite frankly they should have thought about that before taking pictures of my kids knowing full well that I am not interested in being ripped off by paying more money to have them printed.
Call me a criminal and arrest me.

I don't necessarily disagree with you HnH just thought it was something to bear in mind

I wasn't digging at you Staggs... at the end of the day copyright theft is theft - and theft is against the law.
Anyone can dress it up however they like - it's breaking the law and that's the end of it.
However, I doubt very much whether the Federation Against Copyright Theft are going to be raiding my house to see whether I have any school pictures of my kids that I have acquired by bypassing the photographers fee - so I am not that moved by it.
Nevertheless you are entirely right to point out the copyright issue.

we have a freind who is a photographer
and you need to remember this is how they make a living
most photogrphers now watermark the pictures so when you cant print them but veiw them
the idea is pay for the ones you want and scrap the rest
just a thought go into your local garage and ask to borrow his tools and ramps to do your own brakes its the same thing sort of

Fish at the ready! I'm opening a whole new kettle.
Since time providing a service is billable, you could send the photographer an invoice for the time your wife modelled for his photos...
But on the other hand, that is why he's charging for the photos...
My personal opinion is that if you want the photos, pay the man, he probably needs to pay rent too.
The alternative method of cracking coded discs is to grip it tightly between both hands and bending sharply till opposite ends touch. Always works.

Thanks for the points folks - all valid.
Just in my defense about asking the question about cracking the encryption, The actual photoshoot wasnt cheap at all so guessing that should cover the hour shoot and a half hour review of photographers time and space.
With the exception of the 2 small prints and disc, I dont think there are any other costs involved for the photographer as everything was digital.
Can understand that people need to earn a living and this is his chosen profession (good point about the garage!) but not like we're planning to mass reproduce the photo's and make money off it so he wouldnt be losing out anyhow.
Will think about breaking the law as and when we see the finished product but may just wear out the disc whilst viewing lol
Failing that, looks like Deano has volunteered his services so all good!

what have they done with the files?
is there a program they have supplied for unlocking the files?
what program have they supplied for viewing?
JPEG/TIFF etc files themselfs dont have encryption part of the spec, they would have to be wrapped up in a truecrypt/ZIP/RAR/7z archive that can have passwords, if they have used new versions of these programs (does not apply to truecrypt which is not worth trying to crack) then its near impossable to crack them as AES encryption has become the norm.
