Disable linking to .jpg files?

Hi, I would like my images to be as protected as possible.
For example If I show an image the URL shows up like this: http://www.something.com/index.php?album=thealbum&image=IMG.jpg

Now... I have watermarked my images but If someone knows how zenphoto works they can easily do something like this: http://www.something.com/albums/album/IMG.jpg and voila they got the original picture.
Can I somehow disable the possibility for this or so it automatically links back to the correct adress? Quite short.. is there anything I can do to REALLY protect my images?

    For the image linking. Not really, but you could use the albums folder as an external one outside the normal web directory. Please dp a forum search on that, we have several threads there.

    Also you could try some .htaccess security.

    But generally the only real protection for images on the web is not to have images on the web...:-)

    .htaccess seems to be what makes most sense. Gonna check it out. thanks!
