Sorry, but this is flatly impossible. If someone wants your image(s), they'll get them. No question about it, it is simply impossible to prevent anyone from copying images placed on the web.
No, the best you can do [span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"]is make it slightly difficult[/span], and that's it. By "slightly difficult" I mean it would take someone an extra 10 seconds to copy the image.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too since that's what my old sources of info told me. This woud be enough for me, those pics are not that important. It's just that I don't want to make people who try to live with photography lose money. There's so many "good" pic on the net (good in the eyes of the man on the street), that this profession has trouble now for the common usage. I know how serious amateurs can disturb the life of a pro. A simple deterrent that would stop 90 % of the "cheap" people out there, or worse the pseudo photographer who steal your work (that happened to me once) would be OK since these people anyway will look for another pic if it's too complicated to steal. Sure, I can put a copyright on the pic, but I don't like it, it look pretentious. And it's easy to cut anyway unless you ruined the entire pic by writing in the middle of it. I can use also a very bad resolution, but that's not fun either. For now, I just don't know any way to post a potentially commercial level pic without making it reusable.
I saw some photo site for example, if you try to copy with the right button mouse click or to cut and paste a pic, a window appear informing you about the copyright or to contact the owner of the pic to get the permission to use it. That would be OK for me. If you know a program that can do that, it would be perfect.
