You can simply use a script like below to prevent a right click but it is far away from fool proof. You can still look in the source code to get the image location and download it or just dave the web page. You can use a Watermark like from Digimarc which still does not matter when printed. One thing that you do is use some slicer tool, that slices the image in like 100 tiles and puts it in a table, user will have a hard time putting it together. But still nothing is impossible. Though here the script.

<script language="JavaScript"> <!--
var message="Right click disabled"; // Message for the alert box

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// --> </script>

You can also layer a clear image over the copyrighted one, so that when they right-click all they get is the clear image.

This works for some people, but like Michael said, nothing is impossible if they want to get the picture from the source code.

But even using flash, the user can just do a screen capture.  I think the best method of avoiding people taking your images is using watermarks.  Look at http://www.gettyimages.com - Getty Images - one of the largest image databases in the world - they simply use watermarks.

mzz don't get the concept , i can save all those images :p

The only way to completely protect your images:

Password protect the whole website, and make sure that no one has the password, not even you!

It was a JOKE!!!

In other words, if you don't want people to see or use your images/code etc, don't put it on the web.

The fact is, that for people to view your website, the browser has to download the entire page to their machine. Once it's there, they are able to do what they want with it.

You can try all these workarounds to slow people down, but its only temporary.

Thats the web I'm afraid!

http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=41 - Read this page  or try http://www.google.com - www.google.com and search for: prevent saving images

Why is it that asking is easyer then searching?

If you are displaying art/graphics for sale, you may want to watermark them, making them effectively useless. If you are selling photographs, generally resolution on the web isn't high enough anyways for any practical use. i.e. 72~96dpi (ppi) on the web vs. 133 up to 15,000 for some magazines for print.

Do this...

Open up your pic in photoshop... make a new layer... select the new layer... choose Edit > Fill... and select Black (or white, if you prefer)... Do a Save for Web...

Hey presto, no one will even want to steal the images.

By the way, I'm notorious for never taking anything serious, so don't take this to heart...

Well, did you see my earlier post in this thread about how to keep it secure?

Can someone please let this thread die??? There is no way to protect images....

I hate to tell you this but if someone wants to copy your images they will do so, one way is all they have to do is to print off the webpage and scan Plus they could also edit the picture. I dont think there is any way round this problem.

no. that's true, but they still have to work around that text that is across the entire picture. and that is not so easy. believe me. i tried
