1318397	2012-12-14 22:41:00	Hi Looking for some advice on how I can protect my photos from being copied and downloaded onto personal computers. I run an agency in Wellington (The Bedroom.co.nz if you want to see the site) and would like to protect the privacy of the women by stopping men keeping their photos. I've been told it's impossible to do this but have been on other websites where you can not 'copy and paste' photos, so is there a way? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Sarah *That should be Madam not Madame...can't edit	sarahxx (16975)

The No Right Click routine can be beaten simply by turning off Java, so it only stops the very average users... who are probably too green to even know it's possible to save images anyway. Otherwise, keeping pic behind a password protected section of the site would offer a little more security from being indexed by Google and shared worldwide forever... but still wouldn't stop someone who was intent of retaining an image. I suggest your girls might have more to fear from a privacy breach at IRD than from their work website. Either way, they're screwed (bad pun intended).	Paul.Cov (425)

1318405	2012-12-15 06:39:00	given the fact that the images are a small size and have artifacting on them, i think people would sooner google 'hot boobies' than save those images anyway. don't worry about it.	8ftmetalhaed (14526)
1318406	2012-12-15 06:40:00	Other than java + water marks you can scale your images back so that the resolution is useful for web viewing but otherwise useless should the person who takes it want to make it larger, this only resticts the options the person who obtains the image has, it doesn't stop it and also means that you can't have big HD images for your customers. A more technical approach is to use a image viewing script that renders the image in a windows that can't be copied such as a flash or java applet however screenshots can still be obtained. I think by that stage you won't really be getting an image of usable quality. Anyone who is desperate enough to get a hold of your ladies pics and stays to get past that protection really should pay to meet them in person.	The Error Guy (14052)
