@tarheelmatt can you make your watermark a little smaller?  Sometimes when cropping your pics for my FB page I cut out some of the good stuff. TIA

Another step I do for online sharing is reduce the size and quality in post processing.  I especially do this when using my camera.  

It not only makes sharing nice, but if someone decides to hack it they cannot enlarge too much or crop much and the quality still be good.

I say comment and leave a link to your ham. What a poser.

Can't help but wonder if he's used any of your pictures in his published books? Now, that could get interesting. Very strict rules about using pictures in publications for sale if they aren't his original property or if he doesn't have permission to use them from the original owner. Amazon (KDP) is very strict.

Did this with iWatermark

take the easy route.  Post your pictures with a fork in them.

Info passed to others in the PNW BBQ circuit, hard to believe what some folks do....the watermark is the easy answer.

This picture says: "Give me a cupcake or I'll burn the house down."

I would just post it on his Facebook page with a link to the original image and tell him thanks for using your cooks

This Raichlen guy reminds me of this dude. Maybe they were brothers from another mother.

I tweeted  him a link to this thread.

@buzd504 retweeted!  Twitter folks let's try to get this to trend.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective.  If someone lifted a pic from one my cooks, I would view it as a compliment.

There, FTFY.

It's a compliment when they credit you.  It's a very different thing when they imply that it is a picture from one of their cooks, especially if they are a nationally famous personality.

that would probably be my first reaction too, especially if it only happened once.  but after seeing this happen here a few times, even after he's been called out, that makes me wonder if he even cooks any more or if he's become 100% hollow marketing machine.  I can't assume that he's only stolen those that Dyal and Griffin have busted him on.  he's regularly passing off other people's photos as his cooks, doesn't matter that it's someone that works for him and not him, he's not cooking the meals he's purporting to cook regardless of where the pic came from.  he's also either not in control of his process and people, or he's complicit in the steal from the internet strategy - either way equals hack to me.

I doubt very much Raichlen is doing any of this.  Likely some underling whose job is to fatten the archives and engage social-media on his behalf.

He could very well have fired that last one, hired this one, and run into the same issue.  Dime a dozen.

I always thought he cooked everything in his books.  Do you guys think he gives recipies and commentary on stuff he has never cooked?

He may not be doing it, but it is on his site. It is his name and his brand that is being tarnished if this got out and the public as a whole found out about it. 

He is responsible, or he should be, for the content of his site.

That lump pic may show up on some unsavory moose knuckle site.

agree completely.  I was replying to those who were saying/implying/wondering Raichlen himself was sitting there doing the cut-n-paste

Ahh.. I get it now. If he has taken pics from two guys here just think how many other pics are off of other food blogs? 

One day he is going to get bit in the ass over this.

If any of my cook pics ended up on the interwebs I'd be flattered and then would sincerely feel sorry that the poor SOB couldn't do better than my stuff.
