People often forget that a content has to be sent to the client, before it can be displayed. Once it is sent, I can't help thinking its kinda unethical trying to control or restrict it. I mean, by means of disabling right-clicks, javascript malicious code running, etc... Uploading low res files or watermarking I think its ok. You are just controlling how much info is being sent, its a server-side solution, so to speak.

Re: [Gimp-user] Photo protection - transparent foreground
What you seek to do is something content publishers all over the globe have been seeking to do. The problem with the internet is that it has to trust the client endpoint. You can limit the trust as much as possible, but any data which is to be displayed must also be received and decoded by the client. Once it is on the client, all bets are off. There is simply no way to control data access once it has been sent to the client. We call attempts at doing this "DRM" and while there have been a great many attempts at accomplishing this, all results are compromised and becomes a failed effort. The notion of free distribution while controlling content over the internet is simply not possible.

You can't really prevent the images from being copied and re-used, but most of the time putting your URL on them converts the situation to a "free advertising" scenario. Making an image a little harder to copy usually makes it impossible to find in an image search, which is often not what you want. It also usually makes it harder to use the file names and alt text of your images as an element of search engine optimization, which might cost you some traffic you would rather have. :o) Steve Kinney ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

These days I'd suggest to people, (1) have your URL on the images (2) occasionally do google image searches for your images -- go to google.com, click on Images, click on the camera icon in the search bar, upload one of your images (or give the URL), and google will report on other copies of that image on the Web, and on "similar images", e.g. if someone deleted the URL from the corner.

La tee dah dee dum de dumm... OK so: If the right-click functions are disabled, turn off javascript execution to bring them back. If the image you want is covered by a transparent image, go to view > style and select "no style." If all else fails, press your "print screen" key, or, to get the original image file intact, do control+s and save as "web page, complete." /spoilers Probably the most effective approach to preventing e-z downloading of an image displayed on a web page, is to slice it into a grid of images and reassemble them in an HTML table for display on a web page. This adds a substantial work factor to recovering the original. In the GIMP I find a tool at Filters > Web > Slice that automates this process, and even makes the HTML table code. I forget whether that's a stock part, or something I found in the plugin registry. This image dicing method can be used to make one big image into a quick and dirty table based web page layout, or to to create a fake image map where different regions of one image are links to different addresses. This is much simpler than making a "real" image map that uses a coordinate system to make different parts of one uncut image into links to different addresses. All these techniques are WAY out of style for good reasons. :o) Steve Kinney ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] Photo protection - transparent foreground
The reason what you are talking about works is because of CSS. Consider this: 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 cell is the actual image you want to show. The 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. On Mon, 2012-12-17 at 16:34 +, d b wrote: > Hi all, > > I am new to the list.

I don't think this is possible with a graphics tool because the images produced by it will be "composite" images, meaning all of the content is "merged" into a single image. You can create a watermark for your images and you can sort of "embed" one that can't be seen by the naked eye but could be "extracted", as necessary, to prove you created the image. The technique you mention above, which involves HTML, can be accomplished with some CSS styling. If you send me a direct e-mail message, I can help with that since that's outside the scope of GIMP. :) Peace...

[Gimp-user] Photo protection - transparent foreground
Hi all, I am new to the list. I have searched the lists for an answer to my question, but no joy. Hopefully one of you would be kind enough to help me. I have heard you can protect your photographs on the web by applying a transparent overlay to them. When someone then right clicks and saves the image, all they get is the transparent foreground and not the photo underneath. I have tried to do this using GIMP. However, the web guidance I have seen says you also have to edit the HTML code to do this. Is there a way of doing this from GIMP itself without involving HTML code? Any simple, easy to follow steps for a new user would be greatly appreciated. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Re: [Gimp-user] Photo Restoration
Also if you post the photo somewhere like flickr or google picasa maybe we can get an idea what the restoration might need. Unfortunately, a lot of that type of stuff can come down to doing it by hand (mouse), so be prepared to learn the various replication tools. Great experience though. By the time you're done you'll be a gimp expert.
