When displaying images online one should use Image Protect Software that has been designed specifically for web use by encrypting the image and checking that it is being displayed on the intended web site only and not hot linked or plagiarized for use on other sites.


Displayed as an image you will have more control over its look and size in relation to the web page. The image will also be faster loading. To display many images in the same position will require a sideshow. However the compatibility of encrypted images in slideshows commonly used in CMS like WordPress will require customization of the WordPress plugin that creates the slideshow. Such customization is doable but  more than likely beyond the scope of the modern web designer who relies on the availability of such plugins for their coding.

However displaying images in PDF is another means of copy protecting an image and PDF Security Software that displays on web pages is available that will copy protect from all techniques of save, copy and screen capture. By displaying images in PDF one can include many images, and also text as captions or for more information, that can be paged like a catalog, thus displaying many images from the one location on the web page.


Either option will require browser support, and today, since all popular web browsers have dropped support for real browser plugins capable of interacting at system level, there is only one web browser that visitors can use to access and display copy protected images or PDF. But that is actually an upside because now site owners cannot make the mistake of allowing access to web browsers that were always designed to exploit their intentions by making it as easy as possible to save, copy or otherwise plagiarize their web content.


Image protect and PDF protect solutions offered for use in popular browsers are mostly useless, because being based on simple HTML and JavaScript, they cannot prevent much at all. In fact all they can do is annoy the visitor by disabling the right mouse menu. While the image is still available by saving the page, using PrintScreen or any one of a thousand free screen capture apps. Nor are those solutions safe from site grabbers and image downloaders that spider web pages for their resource links.
However anyone using the ArtisBrowser with Image Protect Software can be assured that their assets will be safe.
