Display graphics without graphics files

[benjamin]

Would i be doing the correct thing to protect my pictures by using a very large yet compact table with every cell sized 1px by 1px and have each cell a different color to produce a picture, you see it is essential nobody can copy my graphics.

Eh?

if you show a pic, then no matter whether they can save it or not it's still gonna end up as a temporary file on their hard drive.

just show a small thumbnail of the original work, with a link to buy page or whatever.

what you suggested if i read it right sounds very far-fetched for such a thing, unless you are leanardo de vinci or someone like that :)

people could still print screen if you made your pictures using many cells

Wow. If you ever set up an image in hundreds and hundreds of 1px cells, please post a link. I'd have to see that! ;)

Slap SAMPLE over all the "good parts" of copies of your images that you put online. What you propose would be both pointless and lead to MAJOR code bloat.

If it's on the internet, they can get it.

You could water-mark it, and/or place a bit of text in one of the corners that says, "Property of *insertyournamehere*," or some such thing.

Thats the only way to do it right now, but even that if they want it bad enough can be wiped out in photoshop
