I run an online portfolio service FolioHD (http://foliohd.com http://foliohd.com) and we get that question a lot: "Can people steal my pictures?" We've gone the extra mile to make sure saving pictures is a lot harder than a right-click and Save As, but it seems like lot of people don't even bother trying that first before asking. All the while, a simple screen capture of whatever you're looking at is just as easy, yet no one seems to know about that trick. The assumption is that Flash is safe, but not even Flash can protect against a simple screen capture.

I even checked to see that the downloaded image matched what I saw on my screen. Is it supposed to do something else? For the record, I'm using Chrome on Ubuntu, but I also tried it with Chrome and Windows and got the same results.
- wtvanhest 15y agoA screen shot of an image is usable for web applications, but not much else since it doesn't have the resolution in most cases.
- rbritton 15y agoI am a photographer and have run into a secondary problem that results from blocking the easy means of saving an image. Most of our clients just want to share an image on Facebook and more than a couple have then just used their camera phones to snap a picture and post that, complete with motion blur and all.
