To the best of my limited knowledge, there is no way to stop people from downloading anything that is displayed. ------------------ Stourbridge Lion stourbridge_lion@yahoo.com Delaware and Hudson Virtual Museum
I agree. I know of no way to prevent downloading or capturing a photo or graphic. I came up with a semi-solution that I can live with. The pictures that I put up are not the best ones. I reduce them and put them up as a moderately lossey JPG. You can also put a copyright notice on the photo itself in the corner. After having lost a couple of good shots and seeing them show up in photo archives without my copyright notice, I put a poorer copy on the web.

as we were talking about in ICQ, the problem with this is that everything you see on the net goes into your cache! they only have to get it out of there and its theres. OR... View the source on the page and find the address of the image. then paste it in the broswer. in one word you cant stop them. if you want the code, then I can mail it to you. or find a site with it and then VIEW the source and paste it in your page. proof nothing is safe... ------------------ RR: K, C, & Bird Butt Railroad - SP, NS, and ROCK admirer.

Correct about the Web page pictures going into the CACHE directory and easy to find. One way to stop right click copies is by using a image 'APPLET' written in Java code. The applet displays the picture once downloaded on viewers site. (Java enabled) Here is a site with free java code and examples. May be more work than you wish to take on? Java picture applet You can also have 'javscript' embeded into your web page with 'onmouseover' displaying a notice 'NO COPY' image in place of the image when user moves mouse onto picture to copy. This may only work for one picture. Search for 'applet picture' on search engines for more examples, etc. It seems language driven methods are one way to keep the pictures safe. Good luck! .....Eddie ------------------ Eddie Delozier PRR N-scale www.deloziers.com eddelozier@yahoo.com

I'm sorry, but I guess that I just don't see the problem. WHY is it important to you that people don't download your photos. How do you know that they are? Are you seeing them somewhere else on the web without your Copyright? Why did you put them up knowing that they might well end up as wallpaper on someones computer? I don't intend to be disrespectful. I just want to see the problem from your point of view.

I'm always flattered whenever I see my work on other people's websites. I don't intend on ever selling my pictures, so as long as I get credit for them (and my name and copyright notice is on all of my pics) I'm glad to see them passed around. ------------------ Mike Smith lcso_927@hotmail.com Eugene, Oregon LCSO's RailPics ~ License and registration please...

There is HTML to disable right click but as said earlier, there is no fool proof way and the images are in the cache. Frames are no problem either. I often open frames in a seperate window anyway. ------------------ Ship It On The FRISCO! | IAMOKA.com
Once a photo is uploaded on the internet, it is essentialy free game. There is no way of keeping people from getting them. I use the right click disable on my site, but it only discourages the very computer illiterate. Anyone familiar with computers can view source in frames and take any picture. I know it is sad, but it is the truth. The best way is to put a copyright notice on it, so that if you do see it, you have the law on your side. The only other option is to not post the pics at all.

Lets be honest.... no right click would stop most people... The others you wont stop regardless.... unless these friends of yours are ladies that are naked?.... Also remember there are programs that will pull down your WHOLE site to that persons Hard drive.. images, .HTM(L) files and all. goto TUCOWS.com and search for off line browsers.. all you do is put in the URL of the index page and wait! I use a few of them. webzip is good. [This message has been edited by virtual-bird (edited 08 September 2000).]
Here is a site with free java code and examples. May be more work than you wish to take on? Java picture applet I looked at this applet and am going to use it on our club page! BUT..... theres always one of them.. there is a file imgview.toc this file lists all the files that are to be viewed. it also contains the path of the image! so there ya go again! as I said b4.. no right click would stop most. go with that. ------------------ RR: K, C, & Bird Butt Railroad - SP, NS, and ROCK admirer.

Just a quick followup to the 'No Right click' entry and my previous note on a Java Picture Applet. I got it working on my site. It stops the right click copies but the pics still go to cache. My interest is up on how to download pic files which are viewable on browser but not from cache file. I've seen similiar pics. Anyhow...... here is the URL for my sites picture gallery.

You could use a program like "Dicer" to chop the photo into small pieces that are then displayed within an invisible table so that it appears to look whole, but a right click saves only that one small cell of the whole photo. There are ways around this too, but it'll be easier than all the code stuff. Ed Harrison
Another but short, Javascript code which will stop the 'right click' and bug the person trying. Will work in most browers except the very newest versions...ie Netscape 6 **added pre tags to allow following to display & dropped the lead < on tags .. not part of the coding. <pre> Insert in header area of page as shown after /title> and before /head> HEAD> TITLE> /TITLE> script language="JavaScript"> < !-- // No rightclick script v.2.5 // (c) 1998 barts1000 // barts1000@aol.com // Don't delete this header! // Message for the alert box var message="Sorry, that function is disabled.\n\nContents & Graphics Copyright ©YOUR NAME\nOur work is not Public Domain, and should NOT be taken from this site."; // Don't edit below! function click(e) { if (document.all) { if (event.button == 2) { alert(message); return false; } } if (document.layers) { if (e.which == 3) { alert(message); return false; } } } if (document.layers) { document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); } document.onmousedown=click; // --> /script> /HEAD> </pre> ...Eddie ------------------ Eddie Delozier PRR N-scale www.deloziers.com eddelozier@yahoo.com [This message has been edited by eddelozier (edited 11 September 2000).] [This message has been edited by eddelozier (edited 11 September 2000).] [This message has been edited by eddelozier (edited 11 September 2000).]
I generally understand how certain people don't want their pics copied, but i'm sorry, if you have a pic of Oakway 9046 and i'd like to use that pic for modeling reference(correct model stuff, etc) i'm copying that pic no matter what. I don't ever plan on printing these pics or in anyway claiming they are mine. They are for reference and NO i'm not going back to your page to check if the fuel tank cap is grimy or new! I almost never save pics of people though...
Hello Matthew, I have just received a promo e-mail for a software company called Alchemedia who claim to have a product which protects digital images. I haven't studied their site so don't know exactly what's involved but maybe you might want to take a look.
