The "no right click" feature really doesn't protect anything. THe bottom line is, if the pic is displayed on someone's monitor, it's easy as "print screen" to take it.
You should consider not posting any images that you feel have significant commercial value, and that you feel you will want to sell. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

I think nobody bothers, because it is (apparently) so easy for anyone who really wants the image to bypass, that's it's not worth it, and they are the only ones likely to infringe your copyright in any meaningful way.
Either post images which are too low-resolution to be useful, watermark them, or don't post them. |

The watermark feature in PS is a "hidden" watermark that can be obscured by further editing of the photo. If you want to watermark, use a visible mark at reduced opacity and put it across the photo. Not legal for our challneges, though, because we co not allow added text or artwork.
I'll say again, however, that unless you feel the images really have significant **commercial** value, you shouldn't even worry about it. Usually, if discovered, users who have not obtained permission will quickly take a pic down if advised to do so.

shutterbug - easiest watermark is just writing (c)2005 shutterbug on your image.
You can pay $$ and get a embedded watermark code that tells you when someone has stolen your image (sometimes).
But even the most complete watermark can be removed.
The bottom line is, the only way to prevent others from taking credit for you image is locking them in a vault and swallowing the key. |

I recommend autoclaving that key before attempting to retrieve your photos. |

| Is autoclaving legal in California? |
