I have right click protection enabled on my smugmug account, but it is wide 
open here.  Also, If I'm viewing a slideshow or click to view an individual 
photo withing the ttlj viewer, I can right click, chose save as, save as web 
page and it will download and save all the images in that virtual gallery.  
both of these are deal breakers for me.

Right click protection is a false sense of security - please read this:

   http://blogs.smugmug.com/pros/2008/07/04/right-click-protection-and-image-security/ 

Please realize that if you disable external linking then we, or anyone else for 
that matter are not going to be able to give your images the publicity it 
deserves!

On TTLJournal, the largest size we display in the gallery is Medium and in the 
image preview it's Large.  Think about this -- if someone is so cheap as to 
steal your Medium and Large photos how much would they have paid you for the 
original in the first place?  My guess is 0.  Now think about now many 
admirers/customers you can potentially gain by having your work displayed in 
other venues such as TTLJournal?

HTH!

Thanks, that doesn't really make me feel any better.  I tried to delete my 
galleries, but get an error Unable to Delete Gallery, please try again later. 
Could you please delete my galleries and my account.

Thanks

I am sorry you feel that way -- we'll take care of your request and remove your 
account/galleries.

Hope you will reconsider one day.
