How might I fix this.:scratch www.sargentphotography.smugmug.com (http://www.sargentphotography.smugmug.com)I personally don't know of a JavaScript or programming method to prevent someone from downloading your image (but I'm sure someone else here can probably whip something up!) but I would try to place an unobtrusive watermark on your bio picture and/or link back to a lower resolution file that looks good on the web, but would not produce good prints.

bio picture has no security against print or download. How might I fix this.:scratch www.sargentphotography.smugmug.com (http://www.sargentphotography.smugmug.com) Remember if I can see it, it's in my hard drive. Like Samir said a watermark is a great idea. You could add a spacer over the image so when anyone right clicks all they get a blank image. Try this:

In your css section:
#my_bioPic img {
width:400px;
height:600px;
border:0px;
margin: 0 auto;}

#my_bioPic {
width: 400px;
height: 600px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://sargentphotography.smugmug.com/photos/XXXXXXX-O.jpg) no-repeat;}

In the bioBox:
<div id="my_bioPic"><a href="/galleries"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" /></a></div>

Adjust the css to your image size. Replace the url with the url to your image.
Clicking on the image will take you to your galleries page....

Link a smaller size, or put a watermark on it.
You are using an external link to serve that photo, so it's not right-click protected like it is in a gallery.

:D Yup. You could just delete the photo and hide the bio box too-- that's the only way to guarantee no one can swipe it!

If I can't protect my bio picture how about I open a separate gallery with one picture in it then use it for a slide show showing just that one picture for my home page will that in turn make it copy protected? What do you all think, possible??

What do you all think, possible?? Even using the slideshow you will not be able to get a right-click warning. There is a spacer over the slideshow image. When you right-click and view the image all you get is the spacer.

There is a bit of JS that WILL give you a right click warning on ALL pics except those called in HTML. I can post it again later when I get home if you wish. Or you can do a search for my name or for "right click protection."

Try to right click my slideshow pics...
I know this can be disable if you know how, but it is still a deterant for the less knowledgable viewers/hackers...
