Can images be dowloaded from galleries set up as slideshow?

Asha

Can images found within galleries set up as slide-shows be copied/downloaded? I've been able to download/save file as my images from galleries not set up as slideshows (yes, right click protection is on), thus I've password protected my images until I can upload their watermarked versions.

I do not wish for my albums to be locked for long, thus wanted to know can images be coped from Adobe Flash Player? If not, then I would set up each gallery as slideshow, remove passwords, make changes (upload watermarked images), then set up each gallery as smugmug gradient.

TIA

Just so I'm sure you have the right info, any image displayed in a browser (whether by the browser or by flash) can be copied. That is the nature of the web. It can just be copied with a screen capture and, in most cases, the very way that the browser or flash use to get access to the image for legitimate display can also be used to take the image. If you want images protected, then you must either password protected the galleries and only give the password to trusted sources or you should watermark the images so that even when copied, it isn't easy to use them for other purposes.
