If you're willing to pay for it, go for a digital watermark. It's not visible, but it's in the image itself. It even travels with the image after it's been altered. I've played with digitally watermarked images for years, some are so good that i had to literally "destroy" the integrity of the image to get rid of the watermark - although at that point you couldn't even recognize the photo, so it's useless.

Some programs even include monitoring services to let you know if the image was used elsewhere online.

It's not a foolproof method of securing your photos, but may work better as an alternative or in conjunction with your current efforts.

Whoa, like it even prevents the photo from being printed or something?

I'm sure someone can just view the image in windows and do a simple 'print screen' and paste the image into paint and convert it back into TIFF without the watermark, no?

I find that f/8 and a shutter speed of at least (most?) 1/200s are key. An external flash with an off-camera cord helps a lot too. For focusing I just move the camera back and forth - I don't even bother with focusing on the lens itself.
