Hi Barbra Sorry to hear you are going. Unfortunately at this time there is no way to protect your images on-line, there is always a way to get them for a determined image thief. www.betterphoto.com uses a java no right click script, turn off java on your browser and take your image it is as simple as that. Or alternatively go into your browsers cache and look for the images you have viewed. These methods work fine for some maybe even most everyday surfers but they are not really the people you are up agenised. I have been involved in this issue for the past 18 months and it is of great concern to many people. Where we set up pages with different security methods and then try to take images, so far we have failed to produce a security that is 100% foolproof. We are just a bunch of guys doing our best to try to stop the tide. Possibly the three best methods are: 1.To make a transparent gif and place it over your image (not possible with RR) so that the user right clicks and saves a blank image. 2.Selective compression that degrades an image to the extent that it looks ok on screen but is very poor printed. 3.To add a spoiler right across the image (horrible I know) but only the very desperate will try to remove it. Another method we have used is digital signatures imbedded in an image that can be tracked across the web; however this can be removed by people in the know and if the image is re-named it doesnt work. Unfortunately in the end the image thiefs are very well versed in image theft, the only 100% way to secure your work if you have concerns about image theft is dont put them on the web at all. Keeping your images both physically and digitally small will render them useless for quality print, but look ok on screen is still the best defence. IMHO LP

The Truth is Out There
