Actually you can. Serve up an image from the DB and add
watermark or whatever on the fly for web browsers. If a user
downloads (assuming that s/he bought the image or the image is a
"freebie" ) the image comes from the DB directly to the user using
download headers.

Actually you can't.
Regardless of where the image comes from (DB or file), when the
user see's the image, they have it.
Tedd,
You missed what I said:
orig file on server -> php that addes watermark when image is
required by a browser -> browser accespts and displays image with
watermark on it. Similar to you example.
Tom
Tom:
Are you saying that all images shown to the user via a browser will
have a watermark on them and if they get permission (i.e., pay for
it) then they can have access to a link that will allow them to
download the image? Is that what you are saying? If so, then why not
say that?
Our points have been that browser download images -- period. If you
want to protect your images, then you have to come up with a
protection scheme other than simply using browsers to view the images.
Cheers,
tedd
