Masking or Protecting an Image

Hello,
I am seeking instruction/s on how to mask or protect a photo
(jpg) of original artwork that I want to post on a web site created
with Dreamweaver. While the purpose of the web site is for the
public to be able to view these images, I want to prevent the
viewer/visitor from any opportunity for printing, copying, or
saving them.
I will appreciate any/all assistance, direct instruction, or
referrals to appropriate instructions/guides/manuals. Direct
communication may also be emailed to [email protected]
Thank you.
Be Well,
Dan

It's physically impossible. There are scripts that prevent
right-click, but in addition to being extremely annoying they
are
totally useless.
If the image is visible on the page, it's already been
downloaded to
the visitor's computer. Plus they can always do a Print
Screen.
If you are concerned about protecting the copyright of your
images,
put a digital watermark in the image file.

Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4

Trying to create a password protected disk image in 10.8.4. I follow steps in Apple:Support but I get an error saying "Resource busy"?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How Can I Password Protect An Image Field

Is there a trick that you know of to password protect an image field?
I have an image field, Only few directors allowed to use it.I want to restrict others from using it.

I put a button beside the image field that teh user can click to activate it. On the Initialize event of the Image field set the access to "readOnly" (ImageField1.access = "readOnly". Then on the click event of the button use code like this:
var pswd = app.response("This image is protected by a password. \n Please enter a valid password.");
if (pswd == "password"){ ImageField1.access
= "";} else
{ app.alert("You entered an invalid password!")

Using a mask to create an image that's distortable

Essentially I'm trying to create a mask that captures the image it encircles and allows me to distort the image. For example, if I have a picture of a person and draw a circle mask around the person's head, when I distort the mask it distorts (e.g. stretch/skew/bend) the person's head and not just the shape of the mask. I'm trying to create my own version of this video but using Motion instead of AfterEffects and Mocha.
https://vimeo.com/38940289
If you watch the tutorial it's the AfterEffects "precompose" function that I'm trying to mimic. And I don't think creating a new Group in motion is the ticket because I can only distort the image by adjusting the edge of the canvas vs. the edge of the mask.
video's tutorial vimeo.com/benboutwell/frametutorial
Thanks for any and all help! It's been a couple of frustrating days...

You don't need a mask if you're doing rectangular shapes.
Clone your original source (type- K).
Crop your source to the rectangle you need around your subject (click and drag on the numbers to go past the slider imposed limits). Use the rectangle shape you'll be using in the animation as your guide for dimensions. [If you're using a shape rectangle, turn off the fill, use an outline width that will be easy to match points with and place it over the clone layer.]
Type A to turn on "Animation" (recording). [it's easier to start at the first frame of the animation, but it really doesn't matter: you can go back and forth in time and even overwrite settings for any frame if you need to tweak anything.]
Select the clone layer; right click on the clone and select Distort from the popup (or select it from the Tool menu). You'll be animating Four Corner. With the Animation recording on, you can use whatever else is at your disposal as well (position, rotation, scale and shear.) If there's not a lot of change in the frame orientation, you can click and drag inside the Distort (Four Corner) to reposition all four corners at once.
Go frame by frame to set the corner points. Or, if there is actaully a frame in your video, you might try setting up motion trackers [Behaviors menu > Motion Tracking > Analyze Motion. Then for each of the Four Corner parameters, right click and select a Track parameter behavior. In the Behaviors tab, for the Track parameter behavior, drag the Analyze Motion Behavior for the matching point onto the source well.]

Version doesn't work on external password protected disk image

Version doesn't work on external password protected disk image.
Any ideas?

Hi
Did you assign the external monitor as a primary display in the graphic properties?
I think you did it due to the fact that the Toshiba boot display appears on the external monitor.
But just moment please. The Tecra M7 was delivered with the Win XP Pro tablet edition and not with Vista.
Did you install it at you own hand?
I presume everything has worked running Win XP
Maybe you should try remove the graphic driver from the Vista system and use one from the 3rd site like www.laptopvideo2go.com

No password asked for Protected Disk Image...

I set up a Protected Disk Image using the given instructions yet when I click on it it does not ask for the password I set for it...? I thought it worked by having to ask for the password before it opens...?

It can be, that the password is saved in the keychain. When it is, it not ask for the password.
When you create an Protected DiskImage, you can choose if the Password should saved in the Keychain or not.

USB Flash Drive (with password protected Disk Image) copies files very slowly. Why?

I'm backing up some data onto a 32GB flash drive that I've put a password-protected Disk Image onto, and am copying this data into, but it is achingly slow. It's taking hours to copy just 500MB!
I have another 64MB flash drive that I have set up the same way, but this one copies files very quickly. I can't spot any difference between them in Disk Utility/System profiler.
For the record, the process I've used for bothe drives is reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then created a new Disk Image onto each drive (just a bitsmaller than the maximum size of the drive to enable it to fit) with 128--bit encryption.
Does anyone have any idea why the 32GB drive would perform any differently? I am using the same USB port on my iMac for each drive, but am getting very different copying speeds. It's driving me nuts! Many thanks.

The drive seems to be working fine if I copy files onto it outside of the Disk Image file (there's about 200MB of free space left over after I added the DMG). So I can only deduce from that that it is something specifically to do with the DMG itself. Though, as mentioned, I compared the DMG on my (fast) 64GB stick and the DMG on this problematic (slow) 32GB stick in Disk Utility/System Profiler (and I originally set them up in an identical way, as far as I am aware), and they seem to be the same. But one is performing achingly slow. Even dropping a file into the mounted DMG takes a few minutes to even think about it. It's very odd.

Cannot open leopard password protected disk image

i had created a password protected disk image under leopard. Now that i have snow leopard i can't open it anymore with the right password. Since then i know that i have changed the name of the disk image also. does anyone know if either changing the name of the image or upgrading from leopard to snow leopord would explain why i cannot open the image anymore?

Neither change should matter. I suspect that the password is wrong, maybe missing a cap or lowercase item or a number. Find someone running Leopard, copy it over, and see if it'll open there.

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Print protect an image??

Hi,
I am wondering (and desperately hoping) there is a way to print protect an image.... I photograph student portraits for a chain of dance studios every year, and they have asked me to supply a large number of jpegs from these sessions so they can create a slideshow to display for their end of year concert. I am reluctant to give them the files as they obviously can be reproduced. (I also think that adding a large watermark though the image would look pretty terrible up on the big screen). Is there a way to stop any printing (and possibly copying) ability on an image file??
Thanks for your help!!

Great advice. I will create a contract document to be signed on hand over of the images.
Thanks very much for your help
Jodie.

How to protect my images

Hi, Here is my web app file structure:
Tomact
Webapps
MyApp
WEB-INF
jsp
>>>>>> 1.jsp
>>>>>>2.jsp
To protect my jsps from direct access from users, I put them under WEB-INF.
Here is my 1.jsp
<html>
<body>
<img src="1.jpg"/>
<img src="2.jpg"/>
</body>
</html>
My questions is where should I put my pic files?
My app requires user login with username and password. Only those who login successfully could see my images.
Thanks,
autogoor

Put them in the Web-INF, and create a Servlet mapped to *.jpg that checks the credentials, sets the content type to the approriate image type, opens up an Inputstream to the real image, then copies them byte for byte to the response's OutputStream.

Is there a way to sharpen or apply unsharp mask to the entire image?

I know there is a sharpening brush under the affects brushes, but is there a way to apply a sharpening or unsharp mask filter to an entire image or layer? This would be very helpful.
Thanks, David

Thanks so much. Sorry I missed that first time around.

Password protecting iPhoto images

Is it possible to password protect some of my photos.

iPhoto doesn't have a direct way to protect certain photos.
One way I can think of is to create an encrypted disk image using Disk Utility app and create a special library on this disk image. You'd need the disk image password to mount the disk and view the library. You'd need more than one library if you have some photos that you want unprotected. You can keep those in the current location.

Detach a mask from the original image

Hello everyone,
I just started using after effects and I can't find a solution to my first problem. Here is my 'issue':
Let's say I have a composition with a PNG image. I created a mask, dividing the picture in two parts. Now I'd like to animate these two parts separately, which means the original image would be like the parent of the mask, and the mask could be manipulated as if it was a picture.
Sorry for asking noobish questions but hey, we all started somewhere
Thanks for all your answers

If you create two masks you have to mass paths that can be animated individually. If that doesn't work for you then duplicate year layer and then you have a mask on each.

Can I perform masking & layers for HDR image in Aperture 2 _RAW images

Hello
I own Aperture 2.
Can I do post processing such as masking & layers like one do to to create HDR image.
If so...
I generally take in RAW format. In Photoshop or Photomatix the HDR post processing is done in JPG. [I do not own Photoshop or Photomatix]. Do I have to save it as JPG or take my photos in JPG to get the above done in Aperture 2?
Will Aperture 2 handle JPG to create HDR image?
Regards

yo,
i only very recently paid for photomatix (pmx) and started to use it....... i like it
eish, paid $129 from their website.......... see it (essentials?) is 29$ from app store
"real" hdr multiple exposures are possible with pmx as well as single image "tone mapped" files
aperture 2 or 3 do not offer hdr post processing, i think, photoshop *** compared to pmx (more tweaking possible)
if you use pmx one can use raw or jpg files, i do not think it makes a difference to the outcome
i use it as a stand alone app, BUT i think it could be used as a plug in... why bother?
one can save pmx files as tiff or jpg
you decide
let me know
ps- do not destroy the original files!, it's easy enough to re-convert them to hdr/anything again later
pps- you can download pmx as a try out for free, but they post a watermark on the final result, it's worth the experiment, at least you know what you are dealing with.... (available from their website), but it looks like the app store option is cool!... check out both
