Looking for the best way (pdf, flash, other) to display photos in full screen from CD or Web-downloaded file, with little or no chance that a viewer can make unauthorized copies of high quality. Realize that this might be impossible, but would like to hear a little feedback.

On the Web, I have been posting 72 dpi jpg images at 450×600 px on the assumption that a 200 dpi printer cannot make copies of more than 2-1/4" x 3" in size, and that a lower dpi printer will not make copies of good quality.

I suppose that I can populate my pdf with the same 600-px files, but believe that displayed images will not look very good in full screen mode.

Any comments appreciated. I’m operating without a printer for the next few months.

It is pretty much impossible to post an image on the web and not have it accessible through some kind of screen capture program. Even PDF can be grabbed with a screen capture by the OS, and I think the better screen grabber utilities can capture a Flash.

I have seen sites where people have split their image into 40 tiny parts, on the grounds that it would be time consuming to put them all back together. But a simple screen capture can grab it in one piece.

disable javascript.

flash seems to do a pretty good job of locking up images. nothing you can do about a screen cap. if it’s on the machine, the user can get it. even if they have to go into the browser cache to do it.
