Hold Image

Hold Image is a powerful couple of tools that enable you to set up and enforce DRM (digital rights management) for your photographic work. The software features the [Editor], which enables you to encrypt images or create executable files and the [Viewer], dedicated to displaying the encrypted items. The software offers several protection algorithms for your images.

Establishing and maintaining copyrights in the digital world is a difficult task, especially when it comes to images and photographic work. Modifying an image’s metadata and altering the author’s name can be done with a large series of software. Hold Image suggests a different approach to protecting images.

The software features two components: the [Editor] and the [Viewer]. The Editor is capable of encrypting images or sets of pictures alongside with the folders that host them. You may easily save the projects, for further editing, in a password protected .HID file, or use the build function in order to create executables.

Hold Image - [Editor] enables you to create projects in which to include folders and images. You may add one or several images to each project and create an executable file that works as a secure slideshow for photo display. Each image can be applied a particular watermark or set of watermarks, as well as the name of the author, email or website. Moreover, you can set a master password or allow the software to generate a random string of characters.

You may add any piece of information you deem relevant or commentaries, then, when the project is finished, you may build the executable file. Thus, you may set the output format to .EXE or to specific [Viewer] type, then check one (or both) of the file behavior options on build: display a file replacement message or archive the output file.

The [Viewer] tool is created for displaying the files built in the specific format. It is a security software that does not allow you to keep any image editors or similar program opened in the background during its run.

With Hold Image, you may create high-level of encryption for your photographs. It is a suitable software for enforcing your copyrights and protecting your work against intellectual property theft. Hold Image allows you to establish a multi-level protection, such as master password, watermarks and metadata.
