You know how on some webpages they don't let you right click and save some pictures? Does anyone know how to do that?
Such as here for example:
//www.brightroom.com/view_user_photo.asp?EVENTID=4106&PWD=&ID=8058228&FROM=browser |

View the source on the page - it is in the Javascript. It's just a warning though, nothing can really prevent someone from taking the image.

There is a javascript function that shows the message when the image is right-clicked (do a view source).
Note that this method does not in any way protect your images should you employ it - to view the picture at all on your browser it has to be downloaded to your cache so the picture will exist there. Also, if scripting is disabled on the browser the message will not show at all.
This is the relevent code:

I have the Javascript on my shop's website images, but can still get around it. Firefox even has an extension to bypass it.
:(

| Looks like I already have the extension Brad talked about. I use Firefox, I cliked the original link by kidchico and could right click on the image and save it like any other without any warning/error. |

just press print screen and paste. Easy way around that.

Another approach: Not foolproof.

| saving pictures into a flash movie format is the hardest way to have them stolen. The only ways are to screen shot the thing and paste into ps and save, or to save the entire flash animation as one thing. I'm not sure if you can extract flash files after they've been compiled. |

True enough. You do end up with a site that has cumbersome flash in though, so.. |

You can always do the screen-print mentioned above and extract out what you want. Of course it is likely that the size/resolution/quality may not be all that great.
So why not just upload small, low quality pictures in the first place? Put in some copyright notices into the .jpg itself and save yourself a while lot of trouble? Will somebody "steal" one of your pictures? You bet! Is there any way to display your pictures without giving somebody the opportunity to steal? Nope.
If you desire to get money or recognition out of your work, make it easy for people to get what they want and then you will get what you want. Put up a small lower quality picture that will get them interested, then make them pay/register/contact you to get a full-res version. |

As a web developer I think the "no right click" option on images is so annoying. It doesn't stop anyone from stealing things if they want to. Also it frustrates normal users who can't open links in a new tab (if they use Netscape or Firefox) or use the context menu.
In my opinion copyright messages are the best way to disourage people. You can't stop people from stealing, but shaming them into not stealing is an efective deterrent for some of the population.
Flash files are able to be reverse engineered, but the benefit of them is that you can use very low res pictures so they would be going to a great length to steal something that isn't very high quality.

| Its almost impossible to "protect" your pictures online from download. Even if the right click does not work, I could go to "view, source" and get the actual URL for all the pics on the page. |

I believe that this method uses the "background" option of a table cell to put the real image as the cell background, and the cell contents are a single-pixel GIF resized to match the actual image. You right click and save, and everything looks like it saved, but the image you saved is just "empty".
Still easily "screen scraped" using the print screen key, or by viewing the HTML source and copying the URL to the image directly into your address bar...

Copy and paste that your html. But if people really want them they can still get them. |
