Does anyone know of some good Image Security Freeware?

David Halpern

I am trying to find some good Freeware for Image Security to keep people
from saving my image files.
I am relegated to using Trellix to design my website since Earthlink.net is
too cheap to provide Frontpage.

Thanks in advance.

Don't waste your time because it can't be done.
Either publish a degraded image that folks won't want,
or watermark it with test.
If an image shows in a browser window, it is already
in the viewers browser cache files.

As for Earthink and FrontPage, I don't know of any ISP
that provides FrontPage for free. FrontPage extensions
on the server maybe, but not the FrontPage "program."

There is no foolproof way to pull this off. But these
scripts disable the right click function and will stop
novices anyway. The first example works as a mouseover
and will need to be placed wherever you have an image,
just change the source to your own. The second one
actually disables the right click for the entire page.
Good luck.

Ex 1:
<A HREF="javascript:void(0)" onMouseover="alert('Please!
Do not download this image. Thanks!')"><IMG
SRC="http://someplace.com/image.gif" Align="center"
Border="0"></A>

________________________________________________

Ex 2:
<body onLoad="imageTrap()">
<script language="JavaScript">
function imageProtect() {
msg = "Downloading Image Not Allowed! ";

setTimeout( "alert( msg )", 0 );
return false;
}

function imageTrap() {
if( document.images ) {
for( i=0; i<document.images.length; i++ ) {
document.images.onmousedown =
imageProtect;
}
}
}
</script>

<img src='dummy.gif' width='100' height='20' border=1>

Crush,

It doesn't do anything simply because of the fact that in almost all cases,
the files are automatically downloaded to the user's machine without any
action on their part other than browsing the page.

Not to mention the >File >Save option to save the whole page
or IE6s image popup toolbar which gives the save option.
The people who take the most images are the one's to worry
about, and they are also the ones that know what they are
doing

As I had said, there is no foolproof way to stop it.
However, most novices I have come in contact with don't
realize there are options beyond the right click.

I think Mike's point (and a very good one) is that the novices aren't the
ones out there stealing content, or if they are, it's of really no concern.
Do you really concern yourself with your image being used on a Web site that
will see 10 visitors this year?

The people you should really worry about are those who are harvesting images
for use in redistribution or for large audiences. The point Mike made is
that these people know what they're doing and are not fooled by such
techniques.

I think you need to decide whether the inconvenience created for legitimate
users is worth the extremely minimal protection you get (which actually
amounts to none at all.)
