one way is to disable righ clicking on your entire site. (depending on what the site is about, it might be an issue)

to do this add this script to the body of your page


<!--
var message="";
///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE() {if (document.all) {(message);return false;}}
function clickNS(e) {if
(document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {(message);return false;}}}
if (document.layers)
{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.onmousedown=clickNS;}
else{document.onmouseup=clickNS;document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
// -->
</script>


thats just one way. and of course people that know 'their ways' (like me Grin) can still copy. anyways it works and it'll help.

Yep, if you are really that jobless, you can always view source, search for text around the image, copy the path to the image, paste in the address bar and get the image OR, just disable javascript  Cool

You cant stop people from copying.

1. as previously said, view source
2. disabled javascript
3. print screen


Impossible to stop people from copying.

Even if you digitally signed the images, well if a person does a printscreen. Pretty much they have a copy. Then you can talk about watermarks. 

Pictures can always be copied. You cant stop users

Neptune, if it comes to that, I just turn to Firefox and do CTL+U (view source) or whatever the combo is in IE.  What next? you are going to disable my keyboard keys?  Cool

Yep, some ppl, including myself are jobless  Tongue

If you code to disable print screen or other key combinations.

Well, I can remap my keyboard, so spending time coding is useless.

How about taking a picture with a digital camera of the screen and uploading it back to the computer.


anything is possible if you want to get the picture so dont waste your time. it is futile

Just  the way you have messages like "please urinate here. My herbalist needs it. ", the designer can always place a caveat for those doubting thomasses

Why is it so difficult for somebody to say that "it is not possible".
@FirstPoster

I have tried several means when working on on Arts Collection site like that and i always get a way around it not to talk of people out there wit mischievous mindset.

 You can not make pics uncopyable on  your website period.

Why not force a water mark on surface of the picture so that when copied, it will still remain as part of the picture. I think this should make it difficult for them to have the exact picture they require from your website or picture gallery.

People have ways of bypassing watermarks. Like in photoshop, you can use the clone tool. There are sophisticated tools out there that can be used.

It is so funny that people are suggesting placing the image as a background. If you can read css files, you can download the image. If you know how to use "View Background Image" you can download.


IMPOSSIBLE TO PREVENT COPYING. IF YOU LIKE SPEND HOURS TRYING TO DO IT. YOU WILL SIMPLY WASTE YOUR TIME.


I did something previously for a nigerian music site. They had a flash player. and I really wanted download as many songs as possible.

Luckily I could read through the embed code and tweak somethings and i was able to get a link to one song then I tried a couple and I realized pretty much they were numbered from 1 - whatever. So I can just take a link and attach a number then I can download the song. simple

Protecting images is futile. You can digitally sign them to know you are the owner but they can still be stripped that is if the person wants them stripped.
