Theft-Proof Graphics?

[myrrh]

Is there a way to keep graphics on my site from being stolen?

Is there a way to create hidden watermarks?

If so, is there a way if I can tell if an image has a hidden watermark?

Thanks

Nope.

I'm not sure about any other software, but Adobe Photoshop 7.0 can.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 can read its own watermarks, I'm not sure if it can read watermarks set by other graphics software.

In the case of images, they can also easily be taken from a site no matter what kind of "no right-click" or other scripts you have applied.

You can make an almost impossible to get source code (and therefore images, since the source is in the code), but as everyone knows, its nowhere near perfect.

If you have a no-right click script, and you load your page in a frame, and have a script that autoloads your page in a frame then your source will be much harder to get, since you have to load the page without the frame and quickly go view -> source before it loads in the frame....

Although, the source will be cached anyway, so it can be obtained there.

Also, if you have an image on a page you can just take a screen shot of the page and take the picture you want out in any graphics editing program.
