on-line image display - 11-17-2009, 08:35 PM


Hi, not sure if this was the best place to post, but here goes.

I'm using BWCview.com to display images for sale. A client called today saying the images are too small and she's unable to zoom in to more closely examine the pics so she can make her decision. (I shot some with the intention of enlarging to 16x20 in., so the subjects are smaller in the frame) My question is this: which on-line image hosting site, on-line store, etc. allows for larger images to be displayed with Java script disabled so images can't get jacked? Not high res, just bigger so it's easier to see them.

Thanks,
Robert

Not directly answering, but there is no way to prevent a user from saving the image if you are displaying it within a browser. (javascript right-click disabling can make it harder, but not prevent it...). Try using a service that has a flash based photo displaying... this is probably the best way to discourage a user from saving the images (still possible, but quite difficult).

If it's shown within a browser, it's possible to save it, no way to 100% prevent it... all you can do is discourage and make it hard.

You may not be able to block a person who is hell bent in stealing your images but at least through their image viewing system you'd be able to deter a majority of would-be imagejackers =)
