I agree with you, Paul... but, IMHO, this only underscores the importance of only letting trusted users view the images.

If the images are placed in the IFS in a publicly accessible directory, it's very hard to who views them and when. But if they are in a BLOB, and a program verifies their credentials (userid/password, crypto key, certificate, whatever...) then you've limited the exposure to people you "trust."

You still have to trust that they won't save the picture to their hard drive, or take a photo with their camera -- but it's a lot better than making the pics available to the general public.

Chris--

No matter what you do, no matter how much you try, if it appears on my monitor I can capture the image and save it and post it anywhere on the web.

You can protect the image so right-clicking won't bring up a "SAVE IMAGE" option, but I have a screen capture utility that lets me draw a box around a region of the monitor and capture it.
