Bruce,

Thanks for the info.? Maybe I, and my daughter, assumed it
would download because the options were shown.

Keith, you have uploaded that image with Flickr's most restrictive
policies. It is set to License: copyright, all rights reserved. There
are no menu options to allow download. If you right-click on the
image you get a copyright noticed and no download menu.
You would have to be very determined, and be technically proficient
to download it as it appears there on Flickr. But as J.C. pointed
out, one can simply do a screen-grab to copy it. And that's true of
all photo sites on the web. Even embedding your images in a Flash
viewer won't stop a screen-grab.? And as Larry implies, "sharing
without allowing use" is a bit of an oxymoron. The image file has to
be be downloaded into the browser for the browser to display it.
That's how browsers work. Anyone who knows about the "developer"
menus in Safari or Chrome can get at the cached copy or the direct
link of any image.
Not so fast there. I just took a quick look. Had to go back & find the
original post in my trash bin to get the URL for the PESO, but ...
All it took was one right click and select "Save Image As ..." and
I've got 6200351947_eb9107dfaf_b.jpg
Not one iota of determination required.
I'll be deleting it as soon as I post this.
Do you have Javascript disabled by default? Peter pointed out that that
bypasses the "right-click" detection mechanism.
So attempts to prevent image downloading by any of the photo-sites are
iffy at best, and all can be defeated. Flickr is not unique for this.
