right click protection - 2/27/2002 2:23:26
how do i enable right click protection on my site so people can't d/l my images? And if this can only be solved by javascript, that brings up another question. I have autothumbnailed many pictures. When you click on one it opens it seperatley, how do i put right click protection on that?
and while i'm here, how do i make sure when someone clicks a out of site link, it opens a new window?
appreciate it,
imran

Another alternative is to watermark your images so the source is visible. This is a technique used by some photographers and printmakers so they can show samples without giving away images.

Hi,
There really is no way to disable downloading of your images. You can right click protect your page, let me know if you still want that and I will provide a link to a script, BUT I could go to view, source in the browser to get the path to the image and then just call to it directly. Also whenever you view a page it is download to your local workstation in the browser's cache. I would concure with Paperfish and watermark your images.
Here are a few links for watermarking..
This is to the pricing page so you know what it costs before reading The basic package is free for under 100 images.

This one is $35 US. Seems nice.

The only way I can think is to use Flash (if you're a rich man.) Make a Flash movie with all the picks in thumbnail size. And if you have too many for one page just make another Flash movie and link to it from within the first ("load sprite".) Take all of your images and make a seperate mini Flash movie of just each individual image. Then when someone clicks on one of the thumbnails, make it link a "Load Movie" function and load the big image there. Do that with each image. When you're done you'll have a bunch of mini movies all linked to from within the first one. The reason you don't want to put them all in one movie is the obvious load time. Flash has a security lock feature that keeps people from opening you Flash file even if they go into the Temp File bin to retrieve it.
Now for $50 you could get Swish and do all those same things. The only difference is that it doesn't have any way to lock the content. So if somebody has Swish or Flash on their machine they could still get it. But how many people own those products?
It sounds complex but it's really not much more difficult than making regular web pages.

Will this technigue disable Print Screen? If someone wants the image, and can live with screen resolution only, they press Print Screen, paste the screen image into Paint (or other graphics application), trim and save.

Well, sure you can always print screen but web images are so compressed they look terrible printed out. Besides, the real fear here is someone stealing graphics and then using them on their own web pages. If you first have to print a very poor quality image and then have to scan it and then recompress it again for the web, needless to say the quality would be so bad that no one would bother. Besides, that' an awful lot of steps to go through. I know I wouldn't bother.

Hi, Bill -
paperfish was refering to the "print scrn" key... you can click that and then paste directly into your graphics program. Quick and easy. If it's on the net, it's available. Best to consider a digital watermark, possibly a visual watermark, and put copyright notices on everything.... password protecting and requiring sign-up isn't a bad idea if it's something you want to keep exclusive.

As far as your open an outgoing link in a new window...click on hyperlink properties for that link and select target frame and click new window. Thats all there is to that
