image overlay, for security

It would be great to have a image overlay over every image. So when you do right click and show image (in firefox) then you will just see a pixel.gif. You can see it here:

This will be in the html version. Like in photoshelter

We could probably do this, but it's barely protecting anything, maybe this will be enough for my mom though.

It maybe doesn't stop people from copying the picture but it does make it difficult though. And also if you don't want people to see all the settings from your camera, it does hide that or am I wrong?

You mean if you disable ExifData display? The only way to actually conceal the Camera Parameters is to re-save the image using an convertor that strips metadata. So they will disappear from the image itself.
Can I ask why would you want to hide that data?

Not only the meta data but also making it difficult to right click and do save image. The only way is to do a screenshot and crop the image. Is that not the reason for have an overlay image over the image itsself?

Yes, I understand what image overlay is for. But why hide metadata?

Why not, sometimes it is good if you don't want people to see your camera settings

Ok, I've written it in the 'Things to consider for the next release list' we'll think about this.

Ok we will add the overlay for the next release, however I am not sure if there should be an option to turn it on and off.
