Encrypting a picture path?

Encrypting a picture path? I don't want to go into much detail here on why but I do have one path that I do not want people to see the path to that picture!  I so get it about downloading and or screen grabs but I would like to protect the integrity of this one picture on the site.  Can anyone tell me the best way to protect just 1 picture from being able to be right clicked and downloaded as well as encrypting the path? 

Also anyway to do a site search to see if it is indeed on a different place on the site?

Most photos in dolphin, like profile pics, if you right click and click save photo, you don't get the actual photo, but a small dot. Thats done with a overlay. A div with a transparent image over the top of the actual photo.

I do not know of a way to disable the right click for a single image.

Also this path encryption your talking about. Never heard of such a thing. So i would not know how to do it, or if could even be done.

Hmmm. It is an intriguing thought though. Encrypt the image url seems like it would be almost foolproof EXCEPT that a screen cap can steal the image anyway..... Of course, if you aren't worried about the image, just the bandwidth, it would be a nearly perfect solution....

Short Answer: Its not possible.

Long Answer:

Once an image is downloaded onto the user's browser there's not much you can do to stop him/her/it from getting/extracting the image. You can disable right click on images on the image view page by using this.

But he/she/it can still get it by viewing the source.

The best way to keep the image safe? Don't put it online...

... and we're back to the old saying.

Internet Security is an oxy-moron just like Military Intelligence.....

I could not agree more but how do these people who talk about protecting MLS data from data scraping?  They often criticize others for not adopting these polices...

  My issue is protecting an image that validates a member as a validated member.  Currently the path to that picture is visible and as you all know the way Dolphin is designed all one would have to do is copy that path and it could put it anywhere else on the site even send the link in an email...We also ALL know how many people are out there that would do it.

I am open to all suggestions how to protect this what I want to be a coveted title...Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

  I want this to really mean something and not be so easy to simply copy and then mislead the unknowing public...

 I opened this in my Ipad and I was able to copy that image in the example by a simple tap on the screen...

or "a server-side url rewriting and processing of the images to add some sort of a visible watermark identifying the images as owned by you and saving a proper copyright information in the EXIF information."

or "You can make a div that is the same size and height as the image and then you can set the image as the background for that div. That will prevent people from directly downloading the image but they can still enter the url and download it from there."

And you may want to try an .htaccess prevention for the url of the image to keep persons from downloading if they know the url. Just some thoughts that I hope can assist you in getting what you want.

That's all I have to say on the subject.
