Disabling the right click on websites
Ok, I've gotten to the point that I would like to put up a website. Now, I've not gotten, THAT popular, YET, but because of the nature of the use of the photos, I need to be able to disable the right click feature when I post my photos.
I am not financially ready to put up an expensive site at this time, so I'm going with something free, for example, Freewebs.com - Free website, free hosting, free webpage, online photo album, free blog, more!. I can add photos to albums there, but when you click on the link to the album, it comes up as several choices of how you want your photos displayed. When you get the the page, a photo comes up, and is NOT right click protectd until you open the file with a double click. This photo IS right click protected, but because the first photo that comes up is NOT, it seems to me to be a moot point to have the larger photo right protected when you cant right click protect ALL the photos. Is there a way that I can make this happen to ALL the photos I list? Or am I wasting my time? I would rather wait until the customer purchased that particular photo to post it, but some are really good, and I'm proud of my work, but don't want to feel like I'm losing my photos to those who choose to right click and just take the photo. Can anyone help me! PhotoMom __________________

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
Right click disable scripts are placebo for the paranoid. In three clicks, I can get around this, and so can anyone else. Using a water mark and password protecting your images is a better security measure. Also, consider registering you images with the US Copyright Office.

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
I come here to echo what jfrancho says.
Alt + printscreen also works pretty well  |

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
As a web developer I would highly recommend not disabling the right-click menu on your site. In my experience it does not work effectively to protect images, as already mentioned, and it annoys your customers who may use the right-click menu for other things.

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
Sometimes I use right-click for "Back". Turn off right-clicking and I give up on a site.
And it adds no security whatsoever. |

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
It's your website so up to you but if you do decide to disable right-click then this script is slightly better as it only disables right-click on the images themselves and not anything else.
Code:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var copymessage="All images copyright YOUR COMPANY NAME"
function copyclick(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button==2||event.button==3) {
if (event.srcElement.tagName=="IMG"){
alert(copymessage);
return false;
}
}
}
else if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(copymessage);
return false;
}
}
else if (document.getElementById){
if (e.which==3&&e.target.tagName=="IMG"){
alert(copymessage)
return false
}
}
}
function associateimages(){
for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++)
document.images[i].onmousedown=copyclick;
}
if (document.all)
document.onmousedown=copyclick
else if (document.getElementById)
document.onmouseup=copyclick
else if (document.layers)
associateimages()
</script>
 The only thing with the script is that because of how the code works in Netscape the right-click will still work on images if they have a hyperlink on them. So long as there is no hyperlink on an image then it works in all browsers. I'd still recommend not to use this script either though...  |

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
Yes, No, Yes, No, Maybe So....................Whewwwwweeeeeee
You guys aren't making this really easy me!!! I know some of you would say all these things, though, because I've even figured out how to use the screen print button on something I wanted myself!!!! Just figured out how to get around it, so I'm sure some people out there are going to do the same thing. I'm going to try anyway, just on the album pages, just to see if it works. IF it doesn't guess I'll have to resort to only posting the photos that I've already sold. Thanks, y'all!!!!! (Sorry I'm from the South, had to use the Southern drawl!) Photomom |

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
I wouldn't bother personally, as mentioned earlier its very easy to 'grab' an image from any web page that displays one.
Simply use the 'Print Screen' function key and paste it into a new Photoshop file - Easy! |

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
Well, since I can't figure out how to insert the script into the webpage myself, I'm giving up on the idea.
I'm just going to have to post them lo-res and watermark them. Another idea, which I don't like too much, is to not post until its' purchased. thanks for all your help, guys! |

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
You are definitely right to be paranoid about theft of your images, so low res and watermarking are a good strategy. I try not to post anything larger than 800 pixels. To print a 4x6 at 300 ppi, you'd need 1200x1800 pixels, so 800 seems low enough. If someone is satisfied with print made from an image with that resolution and a water mark, they probably aren't interested in buying your prints anyway.

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
Thats exactly what I'd recommend too jfrancho, I never post anything over 800 pixels on the web. Watermarking I've never really got in to so may be something I'll have a look at now when I get chance.

Re: Disabling the right click on websites
I love those watermarks, very creative!
Have to agree about the size of images - I tend not to post bigger than about 600-700 pixels, as said earlier these will not print well at all. Still nothing stopping anyone using it on the web though - Even watermarks are pretty easy to remove in Photoshop... I always say, "If you don't want it 'stolen' don't put it on the web". |

Because they are my wifes friends, I simply told them It wasn't practical to do it, because of the time it would take and the poor quality etc. but I really felt like telling them to pay for the prints properly through the photographer, he put a lot of effort into these shots and IMO deserves to make a living out of it. A lot of this goes on and the only way is to have them so small they simply won't print or have a huge watermark through the most detailed part of the image, but with weddings and portraits etc. that's normally the face! __________________
