Protecting images

[kobra]

There is a method of creating a transparent overlay image that sits over the actual image. So the thief can right click and gets the transparent image. It is separate from the back image.

See if others post with methods known to thwart this protection method. There could be but this keeps the casual thief from obtaining them.

This has been discussed on many occasions, and the bottom line is that as long as Print Screen exists on a keyboard, then you can not stop someone copying your pics. All you can do is apply a watermark to make it not worthwhile for anyone to bother...and to make THAT effective, the watermark needs to be placed over the image as opposed to neatly below or at the side.

Take a look at the Image Handler mod; this offers automatic watermarking.

thanks folks :)

Ok, the image handler mod??? Where would that be or is it something I need to download sep[arately? Will this watermark affect the picture itself?

I think its just that I am always shocked to see folks have lifted my pics and put them on their own sites without permission. I did contact one person in question and sent him a copy of my Conditions of Use statement. We came to an agreement..he can use my pics as long as he gives me credit.

I know this happens alot, was just a bit disconcerting. :)

thanks again
yall rock!
