The only way to truly protect your images so that no one may save them onto their own computer is to keep them off the internet. No matter what you do, as long as your image appears somewhere online, it is saveable by the user. Right-Click scripts, transparent cover images, and even expensive image encryption scripts can all be avoided. To see how, visit WebDev FAQ's.
The best way to identify an image as your own is to add a watermark in the corner.

Not only are all images savable by the user but they are also automatically copied to their computer by their browser before being displayed on a web page.
well the watermarking i was talking about was one that is permanently placed on the image, whereas your system is designed to hinder those that use right-clicking to save their images. not fool-proof by any means, but better than attempting to block access all-together.

Really? Was the sentence Pass your mouse pointer over the above, before and after demo image to see what your images could look like after "watermarking" with PHP too difficult to understand? In fact the script either watermarks images on the fly or watermarks them and saves them to file. It does not impede right-clicking in any way.

forgive me - i was in a hurry and didn't take the time to read through the text. i thought it was a mouseover script that had 2 similar images.
