   Hi there

   Can anyone tell me if it is possible to protect any images used in WordPress Blog from being copied? And if so, how to do it? The images are copyright to me and I would like to protect them from misuse.

   If you can help I would be grateful for your input. Thanks.

   Regards

   Greg

   No, if you make them available on the web, people can copy them. Avoid the ineffective, amateurish, user-unfriendly "no right-click" image protection methods. My best advice would be to never publish your original, full resolution images on the web.

   Just Watermark your images that way if people use them you get credit and other people - like me, will think twice before using them, I for one don't like and never use Watermarked images.

   Yeah there's no foolproof way of protecting an image that is online. Even flash embedded images can be screengrabbed.

   So it's best to use only low-res stuff or watermark, as suggested.
