Protect Image from Copying

Can anyone tell me how to protect images on my site from
being copied?
Is there a way to code or something in Dreamweaver I can
implement to prevent a right click copy?
I'm currently using Dreamweaver 8.
Thank you

No, the people here with experience try to give additional
information in an
effort to help someone.
Sharing the fact that disable right click is amateur, doesn't
work and so on
is not a faux rule to be abided by.
It's simply good advice.
Many people like this forum because people with experience
don't just give
the recipe the person is looking for, they add some
real world experience and offer advice to try to HELP the
user avoid some
mistakes or mis-understandings.
Offering someone information he or she may not have
considered is neither
elitist or judgmental of whether someone is a "true" designer
(Who even said
that?).
It's simply kind and responsible.
Take care,
Tim

Problem with protecting images from copying.

Woah, hold on... I just got back from a shoot and checked out my site only to realize (I don't know why I just realized it) that none of my 200 + images in my galleries are protected against downloading! I was so used to the script I had im my old site I took it for granted. So my question is can I use the below script in the head to prevent right clicking or is there a simpler way to protect my images (albeit light protection)?
Tbanks,
Ed
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</SCRIPT>

I don't think flash is the way to go now as it's on the way out. I would look into html5, JS... If you do a web search you will find quite a few free and usable "bits". I agree that Muse should have more functional and relavant widgets.
If you still want to use flash for an image gallery then check out the free ones here http://www.paulvanroekel.nl/picasa/visuallightbox/index.asp . All you need is Picasa. Once your gallery is created locate the folder and upload it to your server. Then embed it into Muse. I use it for "Page Flip" galleries. Works like a charm

How do I protect images from being downloaded in Muse?

When creating a slideshow in Muse, how can I protect the images from being downloaded?

Essentially, you can't.
If something is available online to view, it can also be downloaded and there is little you can do to actually stop it.
There are scripts that you can add to your site to disable "right click > save image" BUT someone who really wants the image can get around this using a variety of ways, including creen caps and looking at your code to determine the source where is image is hosted on your server.
The best that you can do it watermark the images clearly and also imbed data into the image file. It won't stop anyone taking the images, but it clearly tracks the fact that you're the copyright owner. Do take note though, that someone who understands about this, can also remove these bits of data - but your average user wouldn't either know about it, or know how to remove it. This, however is one of the best ways to 'stamp' your ownership to an image.

Password protecting PDF from copy/paste, not secure in Mac "Preview"?

I created a book for someone and sent a PDF of it. I secured it with a password so it can be printed but not edited or copy/paste compatible. When I open the PDF on Acrobat on my PC, its locks me out as it should. I sent to friend and of course its the same way on Acrobat on his Mac. But when he opened it in "Preview" on the Mac, it lets him copy paste. He said he is using OSX Lion 10.7.4.
Why is Mac's viewer bypassing the security and how can I keep it from doing this?

A PDF consumer (viewer) is expected to honor any standard security restrictions that are in place, but there is no way to ensure that every one will. A different method that provides a strong form of security could be used, such as Certificate security or LiveCycle Rights Management (a type of DRM), but then non-Adobe viewers such as Preview wouldn't be able to open the document at all.

MII doesn't return images from copied projects

We are using MII 12.2.6.44 and when I make a copy of the existing project, the images cannot be found on the copy. But I'm sure, that they are on the given path, I receive the message:
404 Not Found
SAP NetWeaver Application Server
Error: Requested file /path/path/someimage.png does not exist.
SAP Technology Troubleshooting Guide
Details:
No details available.
Sometimes I have to wait hours to have the pictures loaded, sometimes it is not recovered after days... Is there some "flush" function or something, that I could invoke? Because it is very annoying

hi,
unfortunately this didn't solve my problem, I right-mouse-clicked on the "Web" tab on the "WEB" directory, then "Publish", but I still don't see the icons
EDIT: it works in IE, but not works in FF
EDIT2: okay, maybe I have to restart the browser thankx

Protect Image from image capture software

Is there anyway to prevent people from using capturing

Can Someone Tell me how to Secure my webpage from Copying? Thanks!

I am new to iweb and .mac. I have just punished my first page to my .web account. It has some family photos on it. How do I make it so that people cannot do a "save as" and copy the pictures that are on the web page?
Thanks for your help,
Steve.

You cannot secure your images from copying; taking a screenshot will bypass any protection mechanism you can implement. If you want to disable only the Save As option, setting the pictures as background images may work. You may want to create a watermark on the posted images.

Word crash with sharepoint document and copy-pasting image from paint

Initially I've posted this to another forum but there the rec was to post it here as well.
I have a very annoying issue occurring in specific circumstances (but unfortunately for me that is my daily work), it happens when a document is stored on a SharePoint server. When I copy-paste an image from ms paint into word, often I get the message 'word
has encountered an error' but then I can continue, but every 5-10 times Word crashes completely.
When the error (not the crash) occurs, there is this nothing-saying error message stated below. Think of it.. my ‘floppy disk’ is not full, I have 8 GB of ram and I’ve all the permissions I require. The virus scanner is Symantec Endpoint
Protection.
All systems are in a world-wide enterprise environment (>20.000 users) – So I guess from that side everything is configured OK.
There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.
If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request
permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
Note This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is incompatible with the Microsoft Office or must be updated.

Hi,
What is the version of Word?
Sometimes the Preview Pane in Windows File Explorer may conflict with Word, thus the error message appears. If you have enabled the Preview Pane in File Explorer, disable it to check the result. For example, in Windows 8.1, Open File Explorer, click
View tab on the top -> Panes -> Click Preview Pane to enable or disable it.
If the issue persists, I suggest you collect the event logs to find the cause of the crash:
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter to open Event Viewer. Browse to Windows Logs -> Application, check if there is any error about the crash.
You can send the event logs to our email address and we can help analyze the problem:

How can I prevent my images from being copied?

This is a perennial question, but the simple answer is that you can't. It's impossible.
Don't believe snake oil adverts for products that claim to prevent images from being copied. Once an image is displayed on a computer, there are numerous ways of copying it. "Solutions" that prevent users from right-clicking or pressing Print Screen can be disabled by turning off JavaScript in the browser; and screen grabbing software can easily make a copy of an image.
If you want to show your photography on the web, but don't want others to steal your images, consider the following options:
Add a watermark to your images.
Embed copyright information in the metadata of your images.
Save images at low resolution (72dpi is standard on the web, but useless for printing).
The following image uses all three techniques:
You can create a Photoshop action to watermark images. Use the File Info dialog box in Bridge CS4 to add copyright metadata to your images.

I asked a question. Hans was kind enough to give me a solution, and for that I thank him! I have also learned a little more in the process!
We have already established that the solution stops people right clicking on an image and saving the image (be it in Windows Explorer or not), but it has also been established that it is by no means a fool proof way of protecting images and that there are other ways of copying images from a webpage. However, it is another level of protection.
Unfortunately, I do not want to watermark my images as I do not like looking as watermarked images myself. I also downsize my images for the web. I was just looking for another level of protection.
Thanks for the input anyway!

Can I Stop my Images from being Copied from my Web Pages

On some websites I visit, it prevents you from right clicking on the image and saving it. A message pops up saying the image cannot be copied.
Would any of you kind folk know of a way I can stop my images from being saved from my Dreamweaver web pages?
Many thanks in advance for your anticipated help!

How can I stop other people copying my images from my web

I use dreamweaver CS3 for the mac

both are a waste of time. Fornication with a leaky condom.
Pointless and not
worth the effort. Or worse!
the obfuscation JavaScript will get the site to not be
listed in any search
engines because they can't "see" the page or any links on it.
You would be
"protecting" the images but no one would find them.
And all of those obfuscation JS things can be reverse
engineered. In most
cases- it's not worth it to prove it can be broken other than
to prove it
can be done. The images are nothing special in almost any
site using one of
those $29.95 applications.
Have you done the basics? Turned off directory browsing or
put a default
index page in every folder? A few years ago i ran across a
site with one of
those block right click scripts on it. Dumb curiosity- opened
a picture, and
looked around the directory. All open directories. A block
right click
script and every folder on the site was open.

Nuff said. The blocking script made me curious enough to poke
around the
directories.

How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
Any suggestions?

Clicking and dragging does not work.
Click on the image and Copy and Paste
or
Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

Hi everyone,
I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
This all works fine (very proud of it ).
Now my question:
To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
something like:
var pointer:Number=1;
for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
get MC_1.picure(var);
put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
pointer = pointer + 1;
All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
T.I.A.
Melluw

I tried your advice (thanks for that)
The event I already have is the mouse leave
I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
The code I ended up with is:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
if (CCW == true) { //it is true in this case
movStart = (50 - currFrame);
else {
movStart = currFrame;
if (movStart>25) {
MC_1.prevFrame();
// removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
// removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
else {
MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
Nothing happens,
So I guess this is not what you meant
Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content. So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file. You probably just need to rethink your control scheme. You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.

Can Disk Utility make a "New Image" from a desktop copy of a DVD?

I have not been able to get Disk Utility to make "new images" of a couple of DVDs. For one of the DVDs, it may have something to do with a hyphen in the title. I haven't a clue why I'm failing with the second of the two DVDs. (Previously, I've had no trouble with about a dozen DVDs so far.)
Several members of this discussion group recommended me to copy&paste or drag&drop the files from a DVD to a new folder (say on the desktop), and then to drag the resulting new folder into the box in Disk Utility, and then to make a disk image using Disk Utility.
(Note: While I believe the original DVDs are not encrypted, I ran an experiment to make double sure, by using MacTheRipper first to produce folders containing clean files.)
However, when I drag the new folder into the box in Disk Utility, and let go of the mouse button, then the folder does not stay in Disk Utility window, but instead springs back to the desktop.
How can I get Disk Utility to make new images from the new desktop folders?
Note:
As a partially successsful work around:
For one of the two original DVDs - which has only about 3.7GB on it - I can sometimes (only sometimes) succeed in doing without Disk Utility simply by dragging the audio and video files from the new desktop folder onto a blank DVD, and then burning that DVD. However, in an average of about two out of every three attempts so far, my Mac rejects the new disk as unusable during the burn process.
For the other original DVD - which has about 4.36GB on it - the contents of the new desktop folder won't fit onto a blank DVD. It then gets messy - shrinking the files - so I'd like to avoid all of that by getting DIsk Utility to work properly.

For the answer, see the following excerpt from my own posting dated 2 May 2006, i.e.:
"I finally found out for myself (from Disk Utility Help) that to make a new image from a file/folder, rather than dragging the folder to the Disk Utility pane, in the top menu bar in Disk Utility you select Images/New/Image from Folder."

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad
