Pretty simple, is there a way to disable the Print-Screen function? Eventhough my photos have the huge "PROOF" watermark on them, customers are still using print-screen to copy the images and save them to their social networking sites, even with the "PROOF" watermark on them. Can we add this (print-screen disable) to the watermark and right-click disable options in Smugmug?

That's not a smugmug function, it's a function of the computer and of the browser. If the image is viewable it can be grabbed by the viewer. And you should be aware that right-click protection really isn't protection.

There is no way to disable it or prevent anyone from using any of the other screen capture programs. If it can be displayed on a screen, anyone can grab what's on screen.
