Image protection

I found this article about layering a "cover" over the image to protect it... I was wondering how do I implement it into the image.php - this is the code I got...

<div id="image-viewer-container" class="image-viewer-main image-viewer-container" >
<table background="<?php echo $image_url; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td><img src="http://mydive.photos/images/system/cover.png" width="<?php echo get_image()["width"]; ?>" height="<?php echo get_image()["height"]; ?>" alt="MyDive" /></td></tr></table>
</div>

I think this may be a great way to stop people stealing the images... any ideas... I've tried to edit the image.php and it just makes the image disappear completely

Someone stealing your images can't be avoided. We use right click sort of protection which will suit to most of the normal people. Any other method won't work with more advanced users.
 
yeah I agree... but this is something that I've had been asked to do specifically... it makes them feel better.... any ideas why the above idea isn't working?

Click to expand...
 
No, and it won't work anyway. You are asking to do something that can't be made.
 
mydive, the best thing you can really do is just use watermarks.

Someone with just basic computer knowledge will find it easy to bypass any type of image protection system.
For example, Snipping Tool is one option, and that comes bundled with Windows 7. Hell, even the print screen button on the keyboard will most likely do the trick.
Another way to bypass the right click (save as) protection is to simply view the source code and just search for the right image URL - load it directly, and then you'll be able to save it... Or just download the target directly with a download manager or something.

That's just a few ways. There are many other ways of doing it.

Unfortunately you just can't stop people stealing images. :mad:

I found the article that you're reffering too. It doesn't work. Well... It does, but it's easily bypassed. :)
