Wrong forum. Read the forum description.

The option that you are looking for is a piece of paper with big writing on it that says "Don't upload images to the web". That is the ONLY way to stop them being copied since web browsers copy the images to your visitor's computers before they display the page.

Next best solutions are either watermark the image to discourage (but not prevent) copying or emdeb the image in a password protected PDF so that the copyright notice next to the image in the PDF is always visible alongside the image.

Only other solution is to place a copyright notice alongside the image and rely on people's honesty.

There is actually a JAVA based program that gets close for all but the hardcore. Take a look HERE (http://www.keepsaketributes.com/online_memorial.html)
If this is what your looking for email me and I'll give you the contact info for the Ausie company that handles it.
I've not completely locked down the class paths and other files but it could be made even more secure.
As the previous posts suggests this is only a strong deterrent. I think if someone was hardcore and wanted the file they would find a way.

even though this is a java thread...

ive seen sites that have used javascript to simply display a message for any right click anywhere on the page which overrides the little menu which has the save image as option, effective for only the tamest of users because as mentioned before if your looking at the image at has to be on your computer. this also was thwarted simply by the use of firefox although im not sure if that was just developer error.

Not to mention it is extremely annoying. Just go to View > Source in IE and get the URL, too.

Regards.
