James,

Yeah I had it working and didn't know it, the problem was the referrer was
around the wrong way.... I can stop the image from linked too, I can stop
the image from being saved by the browser. But the only thing I can't stop
is the image from being captured using print screen... Oh well.

I'm not sure what you mean by this - you can certainly get a dummy image
displayed if the url is typed in, and you can even do that using apache and
no coldfusion (you can tell it to display a dummy image if there is no http
referrer).

As you mention though, there really IS no way to prevent images being saved
- if someone really wants to do it they will.

(though reading through your post again I might have misunderstood and what
you're trying to do - might need more clarification)

Regards,

James
