  Did you have the entire gallery up with thumbnails or was it the large individual picture? If it was the gallery, you can save it but its a small low res file I believe. On most browsers once you click the image and preview the large image on the screen, you can't right-click it. Now some browsers I hear can still download them. But you have to remember, if somebody has enough will to do it, they will get your pic somehow or another.

  I had the same thing happen. All they needed to do was go to File and Send and send the page with my full sized image as an e-mail and you can copy, save, edit and print it right out of the e-mail. I've contacted Heather on this, but haven't heard back yet.

  Disabling right click on the image only deters the novice internet users from copying/saving.
To really protect your images on the net, you will have to watermark them. But most people here would rather post with no watermark. Just use small low resolution file for web posting.

  This territory has been covered a few times already. The pictures that are in your gallery are sized for good viewing on the screen, but will not print well at usable sizes.

John, I downloaded a copy of your k.i.s.s. flower image. It is sized at about 6"x8-1/2" at 96dpi. To get a photo-quality print at 300dpi, the image size will reduce to 2"x2-3/4". I don't think anyone will rob you blink selling tiny prints like that.

Don't worry, after checking the size, I deleted your image.

Chris
