Hi Guys,

Any idea how we do the above mentioned? An example would be from the following URL


You can try doing a mouse 'right click' then 'save as' and save the picture and after that, you open the file. You won't be able to save the picture at all.

Any Gurus out there who can enlighten me? It is for one of my project and I would like this feature to be in.

Look forward to getting replies from you guys!!

Thanks in advance!! :)
 

disable right click will not prevent others from saving you photos, as long your photos are put online, can be seen in anybody monitors, than there is no way to safe guard you photos, it is so easy to look in the temporary folders in the PC for the photos, screen capture software can capture and save anything on monitor screen.

the best way to safe guard you photos is keep them in your harddisc, don't put it online.

only a few ways to discourage people from saving your photos are:
#1, show only low res images.
#2, keep you images pixel size as small as possible
#3, display watermake in your images
#4, display your images as flash
#5, slice your images into multiple segments/files.

hope this help.
 


Hi MegaWeb, thanks for the links. Do you have other solutions that do not use scripts? Because from what I understand is that, once you disable javascript in your explorer, the codes will be useless and 'they' will still be able to right click on it and save? Please correct me if I got the concept wrong. :)

Hi Catchlights, Thank you for your pointers and response. I truly understand that if I do not want any one to copy my images, I shld not even post them online. But what I meant and what I want to find out is how the clubsnap web admin did it. From the URL I gave as an example, what you see is a picture hosted by Clubsnap Gallery, but when you proceed to do a 'save as', it turns out to be a clubsnap logo instead. Though it won't prevent people from doing a print screen, at least it make it more troublesome for them. HAHA..

Anyway if anyone has a solution to add a big watermark to the image/ change the image to some other images when someone do a print screen, can you please share with me? ahahah or is this IMPOSSIBLE to start with. Just a tot.. :)

sorry, I don't know is there anyway to prevent it, cos the your images already loaded into other people computer when they see your images.....
 

Or just use a screen capture software like Corel Capture and just capture the whole screen. If it goes beyond the screen they can still capture it in parts and join them in Photoshop heheh...

The best is to watermark it and try not to put up too big a photo that is useable by others. That's the way the world is like these days. Leeching is just too easy to do or learn to do unfortunately. I personally try not to even show my very best shots online just in case. If I want to sell my photography services..I would rather go meet the client and do a presentation. I might show a few small shots with watermark for online shots. Usually within reasons, the watermark will not take too much away from your creativity of the shot. The quality might fall short as the picture is small. Sometime I suspect the only one tha complain you use too big a watermark or should change it to another location are really the leechers trying to get you take it out so you post something they can steal. But that's just me.

Anything you post on the net can or in the near future be leeched from your site..that's the negativity of the net.
 

400 by 300, quality 6. Watermark.

Don't see what's the fuss about. If you want it displayed in public, you have to consume the risks.

there are only 80,000 ways to steal a picture, so let them steal rubbish that cannot be sold
what are they going to do with a 800 x 600 picture?

Hmm.. Just wondering, did you go to this url http://forums.clubsnap.com/showthread.php?t=327144 to take a look? Actually all I want to know is ... how to do it. Maybe my title is wrong from the start. ahahah ...

I had no problem...going to the link you put up and then copy the photo. Open it in photoshop on my computer and resave it again and again and again heheh..I don't see why you can't save it once you have managed to save it to your PC. In my case that is XP anyway.

If you feel there is something that prevents people from saving it on your own computer...well there is no code in it to prevent me from saving it or resave as far as I can see.
 

ALL those 'anti image save' things are useless in one way or another. They will only stop a computer noob from getting your image.

If it's on the screen, some one can make a copy of it.

If you try to 'image save' on a html web site, and I want the image, I'll just open up a html debugger, find the html object I want and save it.

You can do some complex stuff using flash that's more difficult to get around - except that of course 'print screen' will capture that too.

All you can do it watermark, and even then, I've had some one take an image off my own web site and crop my watermark off and use it on their own site. With out asking or proper attribution. (A friend visited the offenders web site and noticed the image as being very much like one of mine...)

Another worm who thought 'Internet == free, no copyright', even though they took the effort and cropped my watermarked copyright message off the image they used...

A depressing number of people seem to think if the content is 'free' it doesn't have copyright any more is and is 'public domain'.

Hmm those people ought to be *BANG*. Anyway, I just want to make people who leech people's work life more difficult if they decide to steal. :devil:
 

If it is online , there r means n ways de. u can always printscreen than crop n save...additional steps but if pple wanna do it...they will find e means to do so.
 

If one wants the image badly, one will get it no matter what measures are taken to prevent it.

TS, may I know what is your project about? Present is as a flash video.
