    Default protecting images

    hey

    I have a site runing now and I want to upload my images on there so everyone can see them but i dont want people to take my images (even tho my images suck). What i did was i wrote over my images so if someone takes it they will have that writeing on it but now it does not look very good with this big writeing on.

    http://www.ethan.wmn.cc thats my site and if you go to my images then gallery1 you will see what I mean. Can someone help me please

    Thanks.
    Ethan

    That's right, but you could make the big writing semi-transparent. Then it wouldn't look so bad on there.

    As discussed so many times on these forums, anything you put on the internet can be copied, saved, etc. from the internet to the user's computer and so on.

    Just to prove it, use print screen, that little button on your keyboard. Then paste into a graphics program. Even flash can't bypass this.

    the only way to get around this is to diminish the resolution of the image and as john said put a semi-transparent over the image with something possibly some "sample" text
