Notes and tips

Announcing that your images are protected

The author's option is that it's better not to announce on a web site that images are protected and how. To tell someone that an image can't be copied is a red rag to a bull. Just let them figure it out for themselves.

Page loading times

When a webpage is accessed and the ImageSafe applets on it load, they won't display anything until the entire JAR file loads from the server. There is no progressive display. It's all or nothing. This can be a problem with many images on a page as Netscape insists that ALL the images load before any can be displayed. This is a browser decision which ImageSafe can't influence. The only solution is to have less images on a page, perhaps with thumbnailing being used to index the images.
