Colette, A technique I've seen and used when giving electronic or cd rom proof versions of my images is to lay text across the image. "Copyright Colette the Wonderful, 2002" in bright yellow ought to keep them from printing an image and using it without compensation to you. You can set up a text layer in Photoshop, type in the text, size and color it then flatten the image before saving it as a jpg. No one is going to want to retouch all that out of an image. If they do, you could always hire them as your 'art staff'. Ha.
