Image viewers can used on web pages to obscure the resource of the
image being displayed. Such image viewers can be based on either Java or
Flash, as both will run in all web browsers and on all operating

plugin before they can be displayed.
Java has been used for web page displays and interactive applications
since the dawn of the web. It used be be included in all Operating
System installations by default but more recently needs to be downloaded
and installed separately. Displaying an image in a simple Java applet
will prevent a visitor from saving the image by using right mouse saves
and should the image be encrypted or the path to the image only known to
the applet, then any attempt to download the image by using a page save
or site grabber will also be foiled. Unfortunately this is not the case
with most Java applet cum image protection solutions who use a simple
applet that exposes all resources including the path to the image. The
only image viewer that uses encrypted images is discussed in the Encrypted Images
section.
If the images
are not encrypted and the image viewer is simply loading the image using
a raw link then those images will not be protected from pages saves or
site grabbers either.
