Share Photo and right click download

LizK

Please bare with me while I explain my issue. . .
So when you are viewing an image and go to 'share' -> 'get a link'-> and then copy a 'direct photo link'
if you then paste that link into a new browser that it opens up just the image and it allows you to right click that image and save it to your desktop.
How do you disable this feature? I now have to switch all my gallery settings to showing only 'medium' pictures so if my clients do find this work around they can't enlarge/print their images.
I do have my gallery settings set to right click protected. So does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Liz

Not a workaround Liz, but X2 is the largest I show and all are watermarked across the middle.

You don't need to use the method you highlight, but merely go into your browsers cache for a copy

You could turn the share link off.

But as the previous poster pointed out right click protection doesn't protect anything. If an image is viewed in a browser it is in the browser cache; it can easily be grabbed from there.

Take a look at ORIGINALS = a gateway to free photos, & right click protection is NOT PROTECTION.

Go into organize, go to the gallery settings, social, show sharing options and turn it off -- but it only turns off the obvious "get a link". I think people can still hunt around in the code and find a link, though I'm not sure. There's no sure-fire way to prevent people from downloading images on the web. Only wants to make it a bit more obscure.

There's also an account setting of similar wording but that seems to affect only twitter, facebook, etc. The "get a link" seems only at the gallery level, at least that I've found.
