Could use some help with hiding an image source:
Doing a photographer site without flash, and trying to make it as
difficult to get to a filename as possible.
I have used php files to generate images using the image tag, like <img
src="image.php" />, but even if I disable "right clicking" it is easy to
drag these to the desktop with a mac.
My thought was to put these as a table background (which makes it
impossible to drag) leaving only a screenshot as the way to steal.
Problem is that using background="image.php" doesn't seem to work...
Any thoughts?
You're fighting a losing battle, you can't stop it, by definition: if
the browser can download it to display it, the user can download/save it.
Even if you were doing it within Flash, it's still trivial to use a
browser plugin like Tamper Data (for Firefox) to watch all the requests
being made, you'll see the request for the image, and you can just click
"replay in browser" to make that request again to download it.
I'm assuming you don't want people to download the full image without
paying or something? Why not just watermark the images, and provide the
original, un-watermarked images in an area that requires a login or
something?
