Hi,

Not sure if this is OT or not, but is there some software that would allow
me to E-Mail photos to someone who could look at them on their PC but not
let them print or copy them. I don't think it's possible but I may be wrong.

Thanks for any help,
Dave

Well everything you **see** is possible to copy or print.

If they can be seen on the screen they can be captured.

As the others say, anyone can more or less print anything, but have you
thought about "watermarking" the pictures before sending them, either
obviously, with something like "Picture shark" (http://www.picture-
shark.com/) or with a hidden stenography tool like "Image Hide"?

If you save your images to .PDF then you tell the PDF program to prevent
printing and copying text and images etc.

This Freeware, PDFCreator has these features in it's "Security" settings

Nothing to stop anyone from taking screenshots, as mentioned, but
screenshots are low res. And PDFs are ideal for mailing.

Methinks this is another vicious circle. . .

Sometime later the recipients of those files will show up here asking
for Freeware that will extract the photos from the PDF file. . . ;)

As has been mentioned in this thread, any image that can be viewed can
be screen-printed. Not only that, but if you put the image in a PDF file
unchanged, it may be that the image can be expanded to huge proportions
and then a determined individual could screen-print and save it in
sections. After doing this, the sections could be merged back into an
acceptable resolution version of the image and this would defeat that
technique.

Instead, you might want to look at iMprinter:
