what are good ways to protect .jpgs on a site from being downloaded, i have a paranoid client whos bugging the hell out of me about this.
besides disable right click
- BonSeff0
anyone can take a screen shot. its not possible unless the pages are password protected
- HCP0
yup, i told him about the screen shot thing, which he cant avoid. is there a way do disable being able to drag and drop a pic on your hard drive?

use a flash interface to display them...

yeah, if your client's really paranoid there's nothing you can do. if they just want to make it more difficult for people, stick a layer over the top of images with a transparent gif that's bigger than the actual image. so right-clickers just save the gif

people always have ripped my shit... flash is the way to avoid this...

is it possible to code a shortcut that disables the prnt scrn button and assigns it a different value?
in combination with that you would have to have a script that onblur would cover the photo with black image area.

if it's on the net you can download it one way or the other

go to http://www.halovision.org and go into his portfolio..he puts his images as Backgrounds..and then garbles the HTML so you cannot view the source for the path..
Screenshots can still be taken..but its harder to do that

That scrambler program is called. WebEncrypt. Do a search for it

I also have to protect jpegs on a photojournalist's site. Like Corbis or GettyImages, the solution was to put an ugly watermark in the very center of the image.
Only a hardcore person with a lot of free time would steal those images and carefully Photoshop away the watermarks.
Another solution is http://www.digimarc.com/

what's so hard about taking a screenshot?
pressing a button? psting it? cropping? i wouldn't say that's exactly hard
