Hi, I am still a novice, so please bear with me. I am using the F3 slider stack to display a short slide show of 6-10 wedding pictures. In the F3 image stack, photos can be prevented from being dragged or right clicked. This function is not offered in slider images’ info pane. In there a way to switch on this function within the slider’s picture library. I have attached a zip file. The page can be accessed under Worship/Special Services/Weddings. Thanks in advance, Mike.
The Slider tool doesn’t have that feature. But being with you here – if someone wants an image from your site they can simply screen grab it. The options you mentioned are ok, but they’re like a lock on a door. For the most part they keep honest people honest. If someone wants an image on your site there’s literally always a way to get it.
Thank you for your quick response. I do appreciate that screen images can always be grabbed. The pictures in the sliders are low resolution for this reason - no matter how high your screen resolution or how the image is magnified, it won’t get any better. I suppose I will have to reduce the resolution further! As this useful feature is present in your images stack, but not in the slider images feature, maybe this could be a future modification to consider?
I’m wondering what percentage of folks DO know how to do screen captures? I’d guess it’s around 70% or higher. Not true 10 years ago, but screen capturing tools are built into the OS: they are prevalent and used a lot … even by grandmothers and grandfathers.
If you really want to prevent copying, the best technique is to use a service which will secure the page by password, or limited to a specific set of emails. PageSafe is good, Sitelok is great, for these purposes.
Thank you for all your answers. I have now reduced the resolution of the 10 pictures of some weddings at my church. So screen grabbing will only result in a rather poor quality, fuzzy picture,I’m just trying t placate peoples’ worries. I have explained, that screen grabs cannot be prevented. But thank you all for your responses.
