Hello

No, there's always going to be a way to get the pictures. You can of course easily disable the right click (if you want the code I can give it to you) but if they are determined they can look at your source code so this won't matter anyways.
The easiest way to protect your images on the web is to not put them up.
P.S - people may not want to take them if you place a copyright on it.What if i put my picture in a Java code.
Can i then disable the screenshot button ?

Probably. however, the user can disable javascript in their broswer so in the end its unreliable.I didnt say javascript code, but i mean a java applet for example ...

Not sure, sorry - I don't know much about java applet's.Should be possible...
If you disable the screenshot button they can't take a screenshot, and if they disable Java they won't see the picture.
But how do you code Java that way that it disables the screenshot button?
Just watermark your images.
No, you can't interfere with basic OS functions. Screen Capture is far beyond the reach of any Web-embeded Scripting/Programming Language.
you could use a WMV movie to display your pictures, even if they use PrtSc it would be almost impossible to steal it.
You can never really ever secure your pictures. To view the pictures, the user still has to download them, so when they are viewing the pictures on a website, that file is on their computer somewhere. So if they really want that picture, they just gotta figure out where to look. So your only possible method is to convert the pictures to some unusable format, like a WMV movie as suggested above, but that becomes a hassle.
So to review your options: Make the picture not worth taking by A) Putting a copyright over it or B) Putting it in an unusable format.
what u could to is set it as a background for a div layer using css, then use an external stylesheet.
on the external stylesheet, before u begin the code press enter for a couple of minutes to send all the text down. it wont stop someone who is determined but it'll put off the casual passer-by.
CyanEyed
PS. that would only be useful for after u disable rightclick. u cant stop screenshots. also, this only hides the real url of the image from the source code and if they look at ur css (stylesheet) they would have to scroll down a long way.

If you put a picture on a web page, I can steal it. Not that I would, I'm just saying it's possible. The ONLY way to prevent it is to not put it there in the first place.
If you're that worried about it, put a watermark across the entire picture, and put copyright disclaimers everywhere, including on the picture. Or put a low quality version in it's place.

No it wouldn't 
There is no way to absolutely insure that people can not take images from your site. They can use any graphics program to take a screen or area capture and grab the image that way.
WaterMarks would work the best, because everything other than modifying you picture (with a watermark) can be grabbed.
Ok. Ill post the code later, but I can show you how to disable right click, print screening, printing and pretty much everything else. One piece of advice, if you dont want it nicked, shove this followed by a whole load of enters on the top of your code. People will believe it and wont scroll down.

Disable print screen? If you can do that I'll give you 50 Frih$, if I don't manage to get the picture any possible way I'll give you another 100 Frih$.
Offer only valuable if the image is still visible in it's original state.If you even even disabled printscreen then there are still quite many programs that can make a screenshot on their own. And there is still the code to find 'em. Don't put a picture on the net if you are so cautious. Or use copyright and if you find the person who have stolen it you can have a nice trial with him... Use your signature on it in the center with a transparent layer that does not bite the eye but still keeps away hobby-stolers. like here: http://www.stockxpert.com/browse.phtml?f=view&id=108519 I think you can get more useful informations by visiting yhis link
http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-40076.html You can ALWAYS get the pictures. Always. Even if you would manage to disable printscreen and source code etc, It's not hard at all to write a simple browser in C++ that displays the source. The source contains the URL to the image and voila.
Placing it in a Java applet? I don't know much about Java, but the image has to come from somewhere... Or can you embed images in java code?
Placing it in flash? You can download and decompile the flash program.
Images you made are ALWAYS copyrighted, even if you don't put the (c) near it. Noone is allowed to copy something without permission until 70 years after the death of the author (at least, in the Netherlands.)
It will never be 100% safe, so I wouldn't even try. If you want to sell the images just put a low-res version online, and give the buyers a high-res version.
Goodluck,
Arno

Just to let everyone know who says this, it's really really easy to steal WMV or WMA off the net. It's easier then trying to secure your pictures using complicated web programming and what not.
So you really shouldn't say this anymore. Even if your WMV or WMA has copy right protection on it as it can be easily removed also. 
If they want to steal your images, they can. Therefore the only way to prevent people to steal them, is to remove the need for them to steal the pictures.
This is a good way to make your pictures less attractive:
* Heavily watermark your pictures
* change the quality to lousy
* and make the picture smaller
Example:
original:
So put the lousy version on the internet, and keep the good one safe on your harddrive where no-one (hopefully) can copy it. | aningbo wrote: |

It's impossible to protect pictures.
You posted a reply, did you forget the topic already?I didn't forget the topic. I was just wondering if he was responding to the topic or my post regarding putting it in WMP. 
Here is one solution. The idea is to prevent a right clicker from getting the image he wants. Put the image as background in a table and on top of it, put a transparent image. When he clicks on the image to save it, he gets the transparent image not the image he sees. A fuller discussion of this and the tools for making the trick happen is found in this link.
The problem however is that it does not prevent anyone from making a screenshot of your image. | ftasyo wrote: |

I think that was already mentioned. I guess the point of this thread is to use some method that goes beyond the easy methods of ripping an image. As it seems at the moment, well at least with the current languages of internet code, it's impossible to keep your stuff from getting copied in some form or another. The only true way of getting your pictures copied is just to not list them on the net period. You can log the "right click" activity with PHP codes. Log someone's REMOTE_ADDR on the pictures page and have a disclaimer at the bottom saying:
"You IP and Activity Is Logged Automatically. All Images are Copyrighted.*

I can fake my ip so you'd get one from europe, even though I'm in the U.S.
I'm no hacker so if it's easy enough for me to do it then it's easy money for a hacker, unfortuantely.Can someone post that no right-click script? I realize it's not perfect, but I figure if I put up low-res pics and place a copyright on them that should scare away the simple majority of people out there and thats all I can really hope for cuz there is no real way to stop a determined hacker.
Instead of putting the No-Right click script in there why don't you just create a simple flash movie and stick it in. When you right click it's really hard for most people to even figure out where it comes from.
convert the pictures to some unusable format or the right opinion
was " You can use imagemagick and/or gd to add a watermark to your
images. You can also use your control panel or a .htaccess file to prevent
people hotlink your images.
