Hi Dave,

Right-click protection is a Pro feature only. However, you can disable your original photos from being viewed in your gallery settings (gallery tools - customize gallery).

Disable originals as mentioned, but remember, if you can see it on a computer screen, you can save it-- even if right-click/ctrl-click is disabled. In other words, large and medium photos can easily be saved using prnt-scrn or apple-shift-3. This is where watermarks are nice! They don't prevent swiping images, but they make it a little more obvious.

THE ONLY SURE WAY TO PROTECT YOU PHOTOS IS TO ADD A COPYRIGHT STATEMENT ACROSS THE FACE OF THE PHOTO. REDUCE THE OPACITY TO ALLOW VIEWERS TO APPRECIATE THE PHOTO. SMUGMUG OFFERS THEIR OWN WATERMARK OR YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN TO ADD. IT MUST BE ADDED IN A WAY THAT IT CANNOT BE REMOVED BY AN EDITOR SUCH AS PHOTOSHOP. JUST ADDING A COPYRIGHT STATEMENT TO THE BOTTOM OF AN IMAGE CAN BE REMOVED.

Yes there is a way to rightclick protect for your account. It requires a bit of coding and can be overridden. But it WILL do what you wish. Do a search of the forum or let me know if you come up dry and I'll post the code...

allow small rightclick, but not medium or large

What I'm looking for is a way to override the protection so that my customers can right click and save on the small images but not on the medium or large. I realize they could capture them if they knew how, but mostly they don't. I want to allow them to use the small images in their myspace, tribe and similar accounts. I have share turned on, but that is not quite the same.

Any help would be appreciated,
Brandon
