I will be publishing a web site for a photographer and we don't want people
to be able to copy the photos...I've seen it on other web sites, where the
right-click options have been disabled. I need to know how to do it...Thanks
in Advance!

Click to expand...

And what do you have against left-handed people that you don't want them
as customers?

No you don't.

Hi Paula,

As the others have mentioned..don't bother with a no-right click script..it
won't prevent anything from being taken. You could consider watermarking the
photos on the web site though.

If your client is selling photos, then I suggest you put thumbnails of the
images (not high quality images) and/or water-mark the images so that the
watermark can't be removed, and anyone copying the images would have a copy
that they can't use.

Then if they want that print, they can order it through whatever means
you're providing to the client. (e.g. e-commerce etc).

In anycase, even if you had the no-right-click script in action, it can be
easily worked around

1) use the File > Save As menu

Additionally,

2) Everything you view on the net is downloaded first before being displayed
in your browser - essentially everything is copied to your computer first
anyway, so there's no point to the no right click function (that's what the
'web cache' and 'temporary internet folders are for).

3) Even though the no right click script would prevent "View Source" from
that context menu, View Source is also available for the standard menu
"View" - and probably available on most browsers

4) Don't expect those no right click scripts to work in all browsers - the
script would be useless where it doesn't work

5) These types of scripts are javascript - many people have javascript
disabled - so again the script is useless.

6) Disabling no right click is a pain - the context menu contains more
options than "View Source" and "Save Image As".
 
I don't know....maybe not.

Probably I was wrong saying "watermark that cannot be removed". Amend that
to "watermark that cannot be removed without a good knowledge of image
editing plus time and effort". It is just an often-suggested way around
copying of images (suggested by members of this group). For the
professional graphic artist, maybe they could restore the image; but the
novice - would they bother trying?

The sample you gave seems to indicate a relatively easy water mark to remove
I would think.

Removing red-eye from your digital or scanned photos is one thing, but
removing watermarks would surely need a higher level of knowledge.
 
Spray some hairspray on the picture after you add the watermark.

It works on charcoal drawrings.
