The reason what you are talking about works is because of CSS.
Consider this:
<div
style="background-image: url(../images/test-background.gif);
height: 500px; width: 500px;">
<img src="glass_pane_watermark.png" alt="My protected image"
height=500 width=500 />
</div>
This shows how this is done. There is nothing about normal image files
which will facilitate layering the way you intend. Even if it did, a
save of such an image would likely save all of the layers included
within a single file.
In the example code above, the background image of the <div> cell is the
actual image you want to show. The <img> tag holds the link to the
transparent image which would be saved when someone does a right-click.
This is not a perfect solution. In fact, there is no perfect solution
that doesn't involve a combination of server-side and client-side
programming. So to accomplish something like that, you would have to do
a series of interesting things which I suspect is outside of the scope
of what you hope to accomplish. However, the example above will suffice
to make the basics of what you want to happen.
