Ivy Grad just gave this tip on BMH  , thought I would share it here.Quick tip to deter picture collectors. I know we haven't' had many run-ins with picture thieves as of late, but I figured I'd share this tip anyhow. Ok so after logging onto your own personal fotki account. Underneath a photo album you have the option of selecting "Edit properties" After clicking on that link a new page should load. Underneath the "Viewer Discretion Advised" box there is another link for "Advanced Properties" click on this link. After that page has fully loaded scroll down until you read "Originals available to:" Under the drop box select "Myself only." This prevents visitors from right clicking to save your photos. |

You also have to change "Sharing photos allowed for (also enable right-click saving)" to "Myself Only". This is what keeps them from right clicking. When they right click they will get an message that says "Protected". They can right click on thumbnails, but when you resize it, the picture will be distorted. Here's a screen shot of the fotki settings. I placed a yellow box around the ones that you need to change to "Myself Only" to deter theft. Sorry, I couldn't make the picture any bigger.  |

| Hey ladies.. this is a great tip.. but I want to make sure you don't rely solely on this to protect your pictures.. a PERSISTENT and savvy picture thief can still steal your pictures without having to right click on them.. IMO, the very BEST way to protect your pictures is to .. (wait for it..) WATERMARK THEM!!! |
