Hello, I am new in the use of zenphoto and want to protect my original photos so that it does not open them, and single they see in galerias and the page of single photo. they can help me?

Are you using one of the distrubuted themes? They have this feature as a part. If you are making your own theme, you should be using the `getProtectedImageURL()` function.

As there have been several fixes to password related issues, I would suggest you use the nightly build.

hi sbillard and thanks for help, i use Effervescence theme and i protect only a fullsize image but not the gallery how can i do that?

If you are using the Effervescence+ theme that came with the release, the full image is protected. You need to put passwords in place for all the albums (of for the gallery) that you want protected. Use the gallery options for the latter or edit the individual albums to do the former.

i do that, but this protect all gallery and cant show the photos, i whant show the gallery an single photo but not the "original photo/fullsize image". it is to say I want that they can see the photos but not download them

There is no protection for individual images. You can protect individual albums, though. Take the password off the gallery and put it on the album you wish protected.

If you wish to prevent download of the images you will have to modify the theme and take the href to the full image out of it. If someone can view the full image, they can download it.

You might also want to consider using a watermark. Viewers will be able to do a "save target as" even on the image page image.

The other alternative is to use one of the flash based personalities. For instance if you use the simpleviewer personality and remove the code that allows a link to the image page, no one can download the image.
