how to block image saving

  1. Default how to block image saving

    I'm a Dreamweaver newbie, trying to learn as I go. On our website, we have
    photo images that the provider doesn't want copied (i.e., images are for our
    use only). Does Dreamweaver allow for blocking/preventing the saving of images
    by website visitors? If so, how? I couldn't find a reference or guide.Thanks -

    There's not much you can do except make it difficult for snaggers to copy your
    stuff. Here's a little trick to stop drag 'n drop or copy image to disk. Place
    an empty AP Div over each image with a Z-index of 1 or higher. This stops
    direct copying. You'll have to put a water mark over the image if you want to
    stop screen snaps of your images. Remember, all the images on your page are
    downloaded to the user's browser cache. They can hunt down the ones they want
    if they're tenacious enough. Have a look at

    Don't bother - a screen capture defeats it all.

    You're absolutely right Murray. Screen capture will foil most image protection
    schemes. The only way to stop screen captures is with a watermark. Software
    like CyberGallery and ShrinkWrapper place an optional watermark over the image
    so you don't have to prepare special images for the web.

    A dedicated snagger will probably try to remove or clone over the watermark,
    or use your image as is... watermark and all. You can't beat them all. However,
    if you make it difficult to grab images, most people won't bother.

    They will bother if your "protection" attempts affect the site's
    usability. A watermark is the way to go. Anything else (even the
    invisble layer on top of the image) is just a waste of time and may
    even become an annoyance to regular users.
