Re: securing a graphic

I'm with Steve on this. Call them (the numerous "hacks" mentioned in this thread) deterrents if you like, but there is NO WAY to secure images. You can brand them with a big watermark, and make sure your copyright and terms of use notice are prominent on the page, but the nature of the web is that they ALREADY HAVE downloaded a copy.
