How to disable the right-click "Save as"

Jonedl

I'd like to protect my images by disabling the right-click "save as, copy, email, print..." functions on the image. It'll be nice if the right-click yields a message: "All images are copy-right protected...". Could someone please give me some guidance?

Regards,

Jone

If you are a power or pro account holder, then Smugmug has a right-click protection option in the customize gallery screen (it's called "Protected". Just turn it on. http://www.smugmug.com/help/picture-storage.

Disabling right-click save as is supported directly in pwer- and pro-level accounts. But - keep in mind that right-click protection is merely a slight deterrent. It doesn't take much knowledge to get around it.

Thank you. I'm a "Power" user, so have disabled it at the customization.

Could the "righ-click" at the gallery thumbnail be protected also?

It can't.

But the thumbnail is so small that it can't really be used for much of anything.

Did you read the blog entry I linked above? You sound like you're believing that right click protection actually protects your image - it is merely a mild deterrent.
