You might look at the new Adobe Photoshop Express at: https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html

However putting images up on any web site for all intents and purposes puts them in the public domain, so say goodbye to them, they are not yours exclusively any more.

I don't understand the reference to right clicking. Every image you see on the web is already in your browser's temporary internet files folder, called "cache."

The way a browser works is that the pages, code, images, etc. are downloaded to your computer before displaying it to you. All not allowing right clicking to save does is prevent people who don't want your images from stealing them.

The best prevention is to add a copyright as a text layer in your editing program and don't make the images larger than 500 pixels long dimension so it limits what can be done with them.

Hey all! Wondering if any of you know of any other sites like Flickr. Preferably one's that are a bit more secure (Flickr won't prevent right-clicking on photos).

Thank you!!

Ahhh, I didn't realize that about the cache....

Do you know the format of what an All Rights Reserved copyright should say?? are you supposed to add your name, year, etc?

I'm looking into registering my photos as well as I read that without being registered it's difficult to prove ownership if someone does steel your stuff.

Thank you!

Adding a copyright notice next to or in an image that is uploaded to a web site is in practical terms no real protection. Someone can make a copy of just about anything and use it for their own purposes, and do. You are entirely responsible for policing such thefts yourself, and have to identify the thief and the theft and take that evidence to court in a suit you are responsible for the costs thereof unless the plaintiff is found to have in fact stolen your copyrighted material. Then a judgement is ordered by the court, but it is largely up to you to collect - good luck!

There is only ONE sure way to keep your images from being stolen, don't put them on the internet, period.

Another factor that has not been adjudicated in a precedent setting case, is whether if you put images on a public access web site do you loose your private ownership to the rights of the image. In copyright law there is a provision for "public domain" where when an image for instance is put in a public space accessible to the public , the ownership of the rights is lost because the image is now in fact in the public domain.

Unless you put your images only in a web site owned and registered to you as an individual and actively limit access, not allowing downloading, your images may slip into the murky world of public domain. Web sites that are commercially sponsored that support uploading images for display publicly do put legal notices on their sites. But as far as I know a test of this issue has not been made in the courts, nor has the copyright law been changed in regard to this potential issue by Congress.

In the early days of the Internet I did put a collection of low resolution images on the web that were made accessible to the public and under a copyright notice. Many were copied and used by others. So I pulled the images, and have not uploaded any images since then that I place any value in.

There's a similar thing called www.smugmug.com. I find that their interface puts me into sensory overload, but I'm that simple. Anyway give it a look, many like it.
