There is a program for Windows called Image Guardian, it basically splits a
given image up into small tiles (of whatever size you choose), gives them
all random names, generates some HTML to display them and disables hot
linking to your image. It also encrypts the HTML, not sure which method it
uses though.
So the end user sees the whole image, but it is split up into tiles, say 90
of them. To save the image they would have to save each one and arrange them
manually.
I know it's not perfect but it's a step towards the goal.

You could always put Javascript in the page to disable right click although
this only does this and there are ways around this.

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way of putting a file on Blackboard so that the
student cannot right-click and download it. Files are mainly text and image
based but could be video. I am concerned about the Human Tissue act and
putting up documents which could include images that need to be protected
under the terms of the HT act. Our medical staff aren't happy 'publishing'
files that could be downloaded to students' PCs even if they are within a
Blackboard course/module and only available to genuine medical students.
Neil
