lock them in your desk drawer, 'cause you can't keep them from being copied on the net - unless maybe you put them behind a secured area and password protect them.

but as far as public view..if we can see it...not only can we manually copy it, but it's already copied automatically to the viewer's machine.

You can use a java script to prevent all right clicks on
your site. You can find the script at
http://www.codelifter.com/main/javascript/norightclick1.htm
l when you go to this site try to right click. It would
not prevent people from highliting photo and using the
edit / copy in the task bar to past your photo into
another program and then save it. Remember to use the
advanced control for HTML or FrontPage will re-wright the
code and it will not work. Click Insert, web compnent,
advanced control, html . past your code in the box and
click finished.

Can't be done.

That should read "You can use a javascript to TRY TO prevent all right
clicks on your site, but disabling Javascript disables that function, so
doing so is worthless." Plus all the other comments others have made.

All this will do is disable right-click. He wants to know how to prevent
people from copying his images.

You can't. As soon as anyone views your site, those images will be downloaded to
the user's computer (temp internet files/web cache). Anyone with the knowledge
to find the files can save them.

If your site is for selling photos, then put low-res examples on the net, or
thumbnails or water-marked etc, and then only allow the download of the high
quality images after you've received payment.

There are supposedly 'no right click' scripts around that prevent the right-click
menu popping up with the "Save Image As" option, but these are not fool proof.
You can still "save page as" from the File menu, which saves the entire page
(including images) to the users machine.

 

[Andrew Murray]

However, all you do is turn off Javascript and bingo, your right click menu is
back where it should be.

normally the right-click menu has a "Copy" command and a "Save Image"
command.....so therefore by disabling the right-click, it is sort of (not!!)
preventing copying and saving images. But as has been mentioned many a time,
there are ways around this, [File] menu > [Save As] command for example.

As I said...

Guess I should have included the <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags.

I didn't just fall off the apple cart, ya know. :>)
