Locking Photos

[budbase]

Does anybody know how I copy-protect the product photographs on my site? Or can you direct me to the proper forum for that question?

It isn't possible. All you can do is make it more difficult for those that would take them. The best way is with watermarking and there is a contribution for that.

There is the enoying popup that will stop the right click, and display a popup warning:

<img src="mypic.gif" height="24" width="100"
 onContextMenu="alert('These images are mine, not yours!');return false;">

 

 

Then there is the not so enoying version that does not popup, just disables the right click button on images all together:

<img src="mypic.gif" height="24" width="100"
 onContextMenu="return false;">

 

But again, without the watermark, you can just look at the source code or take a screenshot to get the image. But who's going to go to all that trouble.
