Downloading images & how to stop it!!

I believe that is a feature in setting up galleries from iPhoto, and that you can turn it off. I think it is off by default, but I'm not sure.

I could not find any settings where you could disable the download. The only thing is to delete the appropriate code in the html code or for permanent change you need to modify the widget.

Unfortunately you can't. The best you can do is select the smallest size image, which is 800 x 600 pixels which will only print a good 4 x 3 print assuming 180 dpi. You can use an application like iWaterMark to add a watermark to the prints. Photoshop/Photoshop Elements can do the same. Even if the download were able to be turned off they could take a screenshot of the photo and it would be in the neighborhood of 800 x 600. So watermarking may be the best solution.

I agree with Old Toad if you want to prevent at all to download your pictures because there are always possibilities to download them either with pressing right mouse button and select "download" or apps like "SitSucker". Only in case you would like get rid of the download button you can follow my instructions in the previous post

Another vote for watermarking - it deters improper downloads as people do not want to display the picture with a watermark.

Imagewell is another free, easy to use watermarking app. It is very flexible as you can watermark in several different locations and directions.

This technique works very well. Thank you for posting the link. I too am a photographer and couldn't stand the download button being there. I know anyone can get images off the web. I only put up lower resolution images, but it's just the principle of having that alluring "download" button.

Thanks again for pointing out this link.

I ran across a new watermarking application called CopyrightInserter. It's free and does a very good job.
