Right click and stealing photos

Is there anyway to keep people from right clicking on a photo on your site and then dropping and dragging it from your website to their desktop.?
Thanks
PM

There are a lot of versions of this javascript code that will basically disable the right-click and save action that you describe...
http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/no-right-click.html
This is not a foolproof method of preventing image "theft" though. In fact there is no way to prevent this...only ways to make it marginally more cumbersome for the less technically adept users. Anything that can be viewed in a browser window can be saved. Think of how easily a simple screenshot would work...try it: type Apple-Shift-4 and then draw a box around your image.
The thing about displaying images on a web page is that you just have to establish your own low resolution cutoff for your images. Obviously the original full-resolution image is the one you want to protect...because it can be used for enlargements and other purposes. But if you decrease the quality with JPG compression or watermarking and make your images lower resolution, you can limit the usefulness of the displayed images without degrading the image visually (at least not significantly) on the page.

Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb? I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way?

However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.

Right-click to open photos in PSE

I used to be able to right-click on a photo and select 'open with PSE 11' but, I installed Portrait Professional on my laptop and now PSE doesn't show as an option. I even tried to change the program at the bottom of the window, but PSE doesn't even show up as a program option. I've also tried to change it within PSE, but I'm not seeing an option for choosing file types to open with it. I currently have to open PSE then find the photo I want to open which is so much more time consuming. I want my right-click option back as 99% of my photo editing is done using PSE. Help.
Actually, I have both PSE 11 and PSE 12 on my laptop ... is there a way that I can toggle setting so that I have the option of opening photo files in either (till this only PSE 11 showed as an option).
Thanks!

In 'open with' everything BUT PSE shows up as an option ... and when I do 'choose default program' its the same thing ... doesn't even show up. I can't even find a trail to either PSE 11 or 12, even when I go to the Adobe folder (through the choose default program). Portrait Professional Studio 11 has highjacked my photo files somehow it seems. Worked perfectly till I installed that on my laptop! grrrrrrr
I'd thought there would be a setting in PSE where I could choose the file types I want it to open, but if its there I'm not seeing it.

Right clicking to save photos from web source

I am trying to save PICS from a web-site and I am stumped about the "right-click." What is the Mac substitute for this command?
It is a subscription service so I can't send you the URL.
If you'd like to save photos to your computer, simply hold the cursor over one of slideshow pictures and select Visit Gallery. From there, you'll be able to download individual ones by opening a photo, right-clicking, and selecting Download This Photo.

On a Mac, right-clicking is done by holding down the control key when you click on the image or file.
Alternatively, just dragging the image to your desktop usually does the trick.

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**:The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

I tried every obvious solution to this problem with different types of disc (-R; +R; -RW and +RW) and the problem persisted. Then I read about removing a hyphen in picture filenames. I renamed all the images and bingo there were no further problems. Apple should have solved this by now. This error code has been reported for several years and my MacBook Pro is quite new. Anyway, I hope this helps. It does work.

Elements 11 freezes when I right click on a photo

About two weeks ago my elements 11 started freezing, blue spinning circle(program not responding), whenever I right clicked on a photo in the "open" window. I had an older version of photoshop on my computer and it started doing the same thing on that one as well. I uninstalled both and then reinstalled 11, still freezes. HELP!

Sounds like you installed something or had a driver update that's causing an issue. If you are on Windows then Control Panel / Programs will show when programs have been installed. Windows Update history may show if any drivers were updated.
Probably not relevant for Photoshop Elements, or there would be more reports, but in the Premiere Elements forums an awful lot of v10 users with nvidia GTX graphics cards are having problems with the most recent graphics driver update. They are solving those problems by restoring back to the previous version.
Do you have a system restore point from before the problem occurred you could go back to?
Cheers,
Neale

Accidentaly right clicked on a photo information how can I fix thisaccidentaly right clicked on a photo information

accidentaly right clicked on a photo information. Hit something about not showing on facebook was not my intrntion. Now none of my photos or friends photos show up.

Hi,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel this.] You can check in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Content''' > '''Exceptions''' (for images) and delete the address (I'm using another version but I think the method would be very similar). [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel Options > Content]
If you blocked the image through an add-on, try right-clicking on an image on another website to find out the name of the add-on and open the add-on options to delete/disable the blocking rule. Alternatively you can also try via the '''Options''' for the add-on in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions''' (on the left). Clicking on '''More''' > '''Home Page''' would take you to the help/support site for the add-on.

How do I right click and save pictures in flash

Hey,
I am wondering if its possible to create a flash button that
says 'save as' when you right click one of the pictures in flash.
Just like in HTML how you can easily right-click and save a
picture, I want to be able to do the same thing but in flash. Is
this possible? Would I use something like dynami pictures that are
outside the flash file but in the same folder and will be placed in
the flash movie when called upon? I very curious, please let me
know of any ideas you may have.

Call the button "target" (instance name) than your photo
image1234567.jpg
and paste it to timeline frame.
If you right click Target Movie clip, you will have the
download option.
Need to upload and test online, won't work in working
environment or browser
run from desktop.
function down() {
fileRef.download(foto, "image1234567.jpg");
var foto = "image1234567.jpg";
var my_cm = new ContextMenu ();
var menuItem_cmi = new ContextMenuItem ("Download The
Photo", down);
my_cm.customItems.push(menuItem_cmi);
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
target.menu = my_cm;
var listener = new Object ();
listener.onSelect = function (file) {
trace ("onSelect: " + file.name);
listener.onCancel = function (file) {
trace ("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function (file) {
trace ("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function (file, bytesLoaded,
bytesTotal) {
trace ((("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded) + "
bytesTotal: ") + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function (file) {
trace ("onComplete: " + file.name);
listener.onIOError = function (file) {
trace ("onIOError: " + file.name);
var fileRef = (new flash.net.FileReference());
fileRef.addListener(listener);

When I click on links in websites the links don't work unless I right click and choose open website in another tab/window. This is even a problem on the Firefox page.

When I try to open a link on any page/website Firefox does not open the link. It doesn't even "work" at opening the link, it just sits idling. I have to right click and choose "open link in new tab/window" in order for Firefox to open the link. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but happens especially if there is a button or picture that must be clicked. Simple text links seem to work more often then button or picture links. One example provided below. When you click on the "launch Jumpstart" button it will not open unless you right click & open new. This also happens from my Yahoo! Email account, on Facebook, Cructhfield.com and other websites with "button" related links.

I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

When I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?

Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back.
Thank you so much.
Celeste

You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.

How do I get FF to focus on a new tab? I right-click and choose "Open in New Tab" and the Tab appears in the Tab bar but I cannot access or see the new page.

I open FF ver.10. My Home page is Google Search. I use a Bookmark and open, say, Hulu.com. I select a link by right-clicking and choose "Open in New Tab" The little tab in the tab bar opens but I am still viewing the Hulu.com main page and cannot view the new tab.
This happens even if I use middle-click to open a new tab. It happens with all links on any website I visit.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
