Re: protect images from download

Well, all these posts are spot on in terms of accuracy. However, if all you are interested is in upping the barrier to ease of stealing your pictures, place a div on top of your image with a transparent gif as it's background. Won't stop a determined thief but may prevent most casual visitors to your site from getting easy access.

[protecting images from download] seem like it should be a simple thing.

It is simple: don't put the image on the web. The web is all about downloading. Everything a browser displays is downloaded first. Trying to control what happens after something is downloaded is both futile and offensive, like sending someone postcard and telling them they can't put it on their fridge.

Peace,
