    I want to add a transparent gif over the top of your image in picture.php automatically instead of watermarking or disabling right click.

    That way I can show original images while it gives the wrong image when saving by right mouse click. Thought it does not stop screen capture programs and saving web page, it will to some extent protect the image from being copied.

    It can be done by putting the real image in the table background and put the transparent one in the cell over the top. It would be great if I can add it in the generate pic func or something.

    Any ideas as to how to go about it?

    I am pretty sure just like a watermark works you will just make a picture size "gif" to cover all your images correct? Or you mean you will want a transparent gif that autosizes to your images and ensures everyone is completely covered?

    @chewbears: I had in mind of making a picture size 'gif' to cover all images but a transparent gif that autosizes to the images is not a bad idea... It should be simple right - just like a thumbnail and intermediate pic is generated... a transparent one could be generated similarly or autosized from one existent large transparent gif. What do you think?

    I wrote a how to on watermarking and I think this could be very useful to you. I do not have time today to help you make an "autosize" transperancy but I was thinking that you could just make an oversized transperancy for the time being. All you will have to modify is the watermark.php to oversize over your images. If you have more questions today lmk know. Otherwise next week I will try to get this resolved for you.

    @chewbears: Thanks for the prompt reply. It is doable using your method... I will give it a try when I can and let you know if it worked.

    I believe it should be again I haven't had time to test it but instead of using a small water mark your using a large transperancy that you created. I mean I do not see why it wouldn't work but I would be more then willing to try to help you get it to work.
