Is there a way ( a plugin or something) in order to make my photographs uncopyable, so no one can copy and past or drag and drop? |

It's not possible. Once a picture is displayed in your browser it's on your computer. You can *always* find it in the browser cache, look in the html source for the direct download url, or simply take a screenshot with the printscrn button. Always. |

What alecmyers says is true. There are some HTML codes, that can prevent the 'Save as..' function for example. Or like even Protman says, who offers a paid solution named HTML Guardian: Quote:

That doesn't really help if you are a freelance photographer and therefore have to have a portfolio for people to see. |

I agree. I'm leaning towards using flash to curtail the people who don't have the skill to convert swf back to fla Jean Andre Vallery |

You don't need any skill, regardless of flash, swf, uncle-tom-cobbleigh or anything else. You just need the print-screen button, and the windows Paint program (included free with all windows since the dawn of time.) Unfortunately the reality of the architecture of the WWW is such that whether you are a freelance photographer, a software developer, or the King of Siam - anything that you want people to see on a computer screen can be copied and saved. You just have to learn to deal with it - as the rest of us have done. Stop wasting time, and find something more constructive to worry about! |
