[QUOTE="Fen, post: 5167, member: 2049"] Speaking as a web designer, programmer and photographer... There is no way to protect your images online. These methods don't work: - turning off right click with Javascript - putting a transparent GIF on top - setting the image as a background to a table - closed indexing with a robot.txt file - disabling IE Toolbar - putting images in a Flash file The reason why - all the images and Flash files are downloaded in to your browsers CACHE folder. They can just be copied from there and used for whatever you want. Flash files can be de-compiled and the images resources lifted straight out. The only way to deter people copying the images is to put a logo or copyright notice over the image. Which will probably ruin the image! Basically... if it can be viewed online, it can be copied.
