How do I make sure that he does not save it? I mean right click save as is one way to save the pic. The second I can think of is File - Save as in IE.

Is there anyway I can prevent the person from saving the pic? This person is not very computer savvy but I still dont want to take any chances.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A willing person will always find a way, and at last resort will probably use print screen to capture it. If you don't want it to be passed on, don't show it imho.

If you want to take the chance then embed the image in a flash movie and put it on a website, or show on webcam, even share your desktop. Those are probably the only few ways to make a little more harder to grab but can still be circumvented.

I think this is the best way to do it. How do I go about this? The guy like I said is not computer savvy..so using print screen is highly unlikely.

Doesn't sound like you use flash, so your best bet is use gallery softwre, where you can just point to a file using xml, and it'll do the rest for you. Use something like simpleviewer.

If it shows up on his screen he can use print screen to save it. Nothing you can do short of showing him on your computer/camera/phone.

No matter how difficult you make it to copy the image, any image displayed on a monitor can always be photographed.

What is the picture of?

My guess it's him with his gf nekkid and he wants to show off a little. :)

Its a prototype design document.


Don't worry... he wont' be able to reproduce the Warp 5 engine you've designed, unless he figured out how to shunt all the neutrino emissions away from the positron inverter..
