Rich knows I would like to be able to exclude images from google images. Spoke to him a couple of weeks ago so hopefully he will consider it for inclusion sometime soon.Regards,

Ooh - I didn't know that there was any option to be excluded from Google Images. Sounds interesting!Comment

Just to second that it would need to be optional. Whilst we have some of our own images of products where we're only a retailer and find it as frustrating as the next person when our work is 'taken', in other cases we are the distributor or more of the products and so are broadly happy for images to be used where it can create greater awareness. And we do have situations where a friendly review has been done that mentions us but the other website / blog has made use of copying an image from our site (in which case we have no objection).
If you have images or product shots that you really don't want competitors using for free, get creative in how to make it as hard for them as possible. Not only in terms of watermarking, but the images you actually take. eg where suitable put a sticker with your name or logo on it onto the product, then your photo includes reference to you, or position a name tag in front of the product when taking the photo, or for lifestyle type shots have your name / logo sitting in the background.The New Zealand Honey Shop

not sure if anyone wants to go this far but the following script disables right click and stops you left clicking & dragging over text and copying it, we know plagiarising is rife and to a degree a way of life on the internet and there are always ways round it to be fair but it acts as a deterrent to most people. Tim done the tweaks on the basic script to ramp it up so to speak, he is a developer at our company ICUK
I have used it on my site (www.green-bear.co.uk) for the past couple of years and works okay for me. Just drop this in the header as per the other scripts and hopefully it will work on your site okay.
Hope its of benefit to someone.

Mike , thanks for this, i have the "select text " bit working but can still right click on images?Comment

ummm! strange, as you can see from mine, the right is disabled and I copied the script directly from the control panel. I have just checked in IE & Firefox and the same problem - can you PM me the exact copy of your header so I can see if there is any conflict in yours as mine is okay - typical, nothing is straightforward eh!!Comment

looking at your source code you appear not to have the full script in and its not top & tailed as <script>Comment

I'm about to upload all of my products to google product feed which I noticed has a policy of absolutely no watermarks on product images. I'm going to have to remove all of the watermarks from images that I painstakingly watermarked.....grrrrr!
In my experience I would not recommend Magento and in my opinion Bluepark is a much better platform with amazing support, but I did notice this nifty feature that Magento uses, automatically overlaying a watermark http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowl...age-watermarks
If this meant that images could still be uploaded to google product feed without the watermark that would be a great feature for Bluepark. Of course, otherwise it would be a useless feature!!
