is there a way that you can stop someone saving your personnel pictures from your website. any info welcome :wink:

As long as you can see them you can save them, even if it means doing a print screen (taking a snapshot of whats on your desktop) then opening it in pain, and cutting the rest out except the picture.

Iā€™m sure there is, coz sometimes if you try to save a pic of something, it comes up with a box teling you you cant save itā€¦ but how you do it, I have now ideaā€¦ I will try and find out for you though, but its done in the HTML code of the pageā€¦

Yes andy you can do that, but if you are really determined you want that picture, you just ā€œprint screenā€ open pain and paste it, then cut the picture out and save ur jpeg.

5

Even if you manage to stop the actual pictures from being copied direct (by right clicking), as Gurner says, you can screen dump the page (like taking a photo of whole page) and the cut & crop it to whatever you want, it is long winded but means you get your picture. :smiley:

Yeah, thats trueā€¦ didnt think of thatā€¦ :unamused: :unamused:

7

ok,thanks 4 the replies,now how does it work on the html code :question:

8

I agree with Chris, basically, if someones determined, theyā€™ll get the pics.

As others have said, if you can see it on your screen, you can (by one means or another) save it to your disk.

The only way round it is to not put personal stuff on a public websiteā€¦

Powershot is right. Most decent graphics packages will watermark your image. Fine for copyrighting, but is this a copyright/ownership issue, or somply you donā€™t want people to use your images for something more sinister?

You can lock, block or set many options if you use pdf, Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat. Most computers will have Adobe Reader but you cant edit or copy content if you set the properties that way. Adobe is expensive though.

I have seen the pop up boxes which you can view in HTML source. but as said before a sreen dump and photo editor will save them on any pc

There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop people from nicking your images. You can get ā€œno right clickā€ scripts that prevent people from directly taking images. Or, you could use two ā€œnestedā€ tables - you put your image in the background cell and a transparent image (same dimensions) over the top. ā€˜Right clickingā€™ to save the picture will get the transparent image.

Thereā€™s no way around ā€˜ALT + Print Screenā€™ā€¦ !

And a few minutes with Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro and the watermark is fairly easily removed. Not that I would ever do such a thing you understand. :smiley: :wink:

The is a photo storage website (cant remember which) where you can pay - increases the amount of photos etcā€¦ and you can have security codes weaved into the picture. You cant see it but it stops the photo from being shown from another account or websites that run the same security.

Basically though, if you dont want someone to have it dont put it up :confused: :confused:

And the other option is that you can also grab it from your ā€œTemporary Internet Filesā€ directory for whatever software you are runningā€¦ Paint Shop Proā€™s ā€œBrowseā€ is quite a good bit of software for that! :open_mouth:

Yep, that is one of the reasons Iā€™ve pulled my webserver offline. Found that despite a particular forum/club not wanting me to be a member that were still linking to my server after I had requested they remove their links :frowning: :confused: :confused:

Besides which a friend needed a spare server :smiley: :smiley:
