  Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to disable right click on photos so they can not be copied or saved from my blog to viewers computers?
  I am a photographer and I need to protect my images. Thanks, Kim

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you think disabling right click is effective when it comes to preventing image theft you are wrong. Anyone can circumvent that in seconds flat. I suggest that you use watermarking on your images and post a copyright notice or license. See here:

  There are two themes that I believe are the only ones that disable right click here. Try Monotone or Duotone but what I said above still stands. Disabling right click is not effective. It’s easy to get around.

  I have a couple of Pro Photo friends and they make the resolution of the pictures on their web sites sort of coarse – as one says “they can make a 4 x 6 inch copy for their refrigerator after that the quality goes to junk” then if you want a better copy you need to contact him.
