Photo "Shrink Wrapping" right-click protection.

Taylor Mahaffey

I saw a great idea where instead of right-clickers stealing images, or getting denied and doing screenshots, it let's them download the photo, but it saves a bogus copy instead of the real deal. Or, the watermark can be customized for people who right click and save. I woul like for my watermark to show, but when they right click and save, it will put a heavier or more visible watermark. This will deter thieves by downoading your photos and they see it worked, but realize much later that it is a special low quality, watermarked photo.

I have the code for this, but I'm not sure how I can incorperate this into my smug mug hosted site. Any ideas?

You can't incorporate that into your Smugmug site. That's for your own custom HTML pages, not something that can be added on top of an already existing Smugmug page.

Did you know that right-click protection on Smugmug already gives them a fake image? If someone tries to do a right click (when you have right-click protection), they will end up with a blank gif image.
