fazlionline Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hello Dear I liked a picture on Flick but when I tried to save that picture to my computer, only a spaceball.gif was saved there. The link is Can you please tell me how to make such spaceball.gif for a picture on my site and how can I use it. I made a table in put a picture in its background and copied same spaceball.gif from Flickr to my folder but it still can be downloaded? Can anyone help?

falkencreative Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Spaceball.gif is simply a small transparent gif file. The actual picture is displayed as a background image, and the spaceball.gif file is placed over the background as a way to help prevent people taking the image. It doesn't really stop people from copying the image -- there are easy ways around it. Realistically, unless you are a professional photographer, I really don't see a need to use a method like this, especially since it's so easy for someone who knows what they are doing to get around it.
