Necronom, thats not always true!
After i got my granduation pictures i was told to go to a website and pick the ones i wanted. I tryed getting a copy so i could just print it out. First i tryed to save the image, but that didnt work. Then i tryed to view the source and get the image, again that didnt work. Then i tryed to print the screen and copy it into photoshop, but the only images coming up where "Image copyrighted" all over it. I tryed everything. I even looked in the temp folders and it wasnt there.
They where using some kind of software that hides the image somehow so no one can get it without paying for it first.

Maybe you should have taken a digital picture of your screen with a camera!

I've seen where you can prevent saving the images, but there is NO WAY to prevent someone from using the Print Screen button.

I suppose you could have an ActiveX component that blacks out the screen when Print Screen is used, but you could get around that by making the window lose focus. And I don't think it would be able to stop third party screen capture utilities.
Back to the beginning... nope.

That ActiveX idea is a neat one though. You know of anywhere that talks about how to code that or a place that impliments it?

It seam that this subject is a hard one to beat and I have been working on this for some time without result. The only thing is to place text stamp on the photos but this to me only destroys the viewing of the photo. If you have good software like photoshop 7.0 and the mind to do so, you can remove the text stamps without trace. So yes round and round we go. All I can do for now is place the photos at a limited resolution so this will stop the printing out at a hi standard (A4 sheet).
Interesting problem don’t you think?
How do you stop someone form downloading something they already have to view?
You think of it and it seams there is a way around it like downloading the pages (save as in explorer). I would like to work this one out some time and believe there must be a way and someone has found it.

The thing is, your downloading the image when your viewing it. So theres not really anyway to not download it and show it, if you see what I mean!
At the end of the day, its not possible. Best solution is a text stamp.

How do I stop downloading of photos
