photo protection

[scubadiver]

Aloha, I am sure that I asked this question before some where but I can find the post. I would like to protect my photos from anyone copying them. Someone found a way to do that here and I wanted to hear how they did it. Can someone help me?

Re: photo protection

not sure what the way you were told before was but there isnt realy any way you can do that

the best way probably is to put a watermark in the pic i.e your website name at the bottom of pic do this with a photo ed programe

also make sure you have a copyright disclaimer thingy at the bottom of page explaining pics are your property and if stolen you will prosecute thats if they are your original property

Re: photo protection

Hi there

Like allstarfaces has said, your best bet is to put a watermark on your photo. You can prevent people right clicking the image and saving- big deal. They could just highlight the photo and on the keyboard press Ctrl+C then paste it in any photo programme. If you want, make the watermark run from the bottom left-hand corner to the top right-hand corner. This will be more of a pain for people to try and take off because it runs through the photo instead of just at the bottom.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Hi Scubadiver

Above is a script for "no right click" when anyone right clicks on your photo to save it a message will pop up ... The message on this one says "pirate" - you can change your wording there, but everything else in the script has to stay.

copy the above script and paste it into the page html (between the head) second tab. To get to the page html right click on the page (the same way to get to page properties) and just below page properties is page html.


Like everyone says, it's not fool proof, however, the message will be given that you do not want your images taken, they can find other ways.

Go for it!!

Thank you Lady Eye. I just want to make them work for it!

Re: photo protection

The no right click is a total waste of time - and adding any java code to the page that's unnecessary just gives the se's more "junk" to read to get to the rest of it.

That DOES NOT make it harder to get to.

And I hate to see someone with a professional site use such a non-professional tactic.
