Can you right click protect the featured photo in a password protected gallery?

I don't know if you can or not, however, right-click protection is not a good way to protect anything on the internet. It's very easy to get around, and only annoys people who are trying to perform legitimate tasks like opening links in a new window.

Michelle- I understand and share your concern. I put watermarks on my photos. In SmugMug, you cannot not watermark your featured photo. I want to tease my client. But, I don't want them to take my photo.

I thought there was a gallery option for right click protect... not sure if it can be applied at the image level... or just the gallery level.

There is a right click protect option, but it does NOT work on featured photos, at least at the gallery list level, in my experience.

Very much agree. It also annoys those of us that use mouse gestures.
