I accidentally uploaded images that were larger than I'd wanted. These are proofs and I don't want the client to be able save the larger images by right clicking. Is there a way to make only small and med size images available for viewing?

No there is not.

If you are uploading proofs than it best to inbedd proof/copyright across the entire picture anyway.

Is there any reason why you can't downsize them to 640x480?

Hello,
I was wondering what most folks do with their photos here: Put a watermark on them (and what would be the best way to do that?) or protect them from being nicked by just uploading images no larger than about 640?
Or not worry about it and just post 'em.
Thanks.
Peg

I run a higher compression rate but that's more about space than protection. After that I upload only what I want to risk. Some of the more personal better stuff never leaves a small yahoo group I have. Anything I post in usenet has a big nasty copyright notice on it with a text post explaining to the group where they can come see and get copies of the photos un-mucked uped.
People are going to save images they like. Just so they can look at them again because they might not find the webpage again or the images might be taken down/disapear. Most of these people have a hard drive full of images they never really look at again. There is also the other class of people that steal images but they can work around any security you have especialy any stupid java tricks.The low res shots still can make a web site if they want.So in summary you just have to gamble. Most people don't have to worry about real threats.
