September 11, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Artistscope (artistscope.net), a premier international digital rights management solutions provider for visual content, yesterday announced they are making available for download updated versions of Secure Image Pro for both the Macintosh OS and for Windows. In addition to improved compatibility with Java under MacOS the new version, 3.0.2, is now compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 and ME. Batch saving has been improved from support for 100 or more images at once, to batch saving of more than 3,000 images on a single click, making it ideal for galleries and art sites with a large number of images to encrypt.

Secure Image Pro is across-platform solution for protecting images from themost common methods of content theft: mouse-click saving, and linkingdirectly to and/or copying directly from the image URL found in the HTML.Secure Image Pro is available for both MacOS and Windows platforms.

As well as the primary features such as prevention of direct saving, etc.,each registered site has a unique key so that the image may only be seenfrom the protected site. The images cannot be viewed from anywhere else andare safe on your server. They are not obtainable by direct or indirectmeans, only by viewing the image from your page and from within the appletviewer. Spiders, "grab applications" and programs such as Xenu and TeleportPro (that search a site and provide a report of all the linked content)cannot locate the Java and data files associated with the protected images.

Secure Image Pro will encrypt thousands of images with just one click. Withthe multi-register feature the image can be locked to either a single domainor used on all your sites in the registry list. The image cannot be viewedonline unless from your own - or an authorized - Web site.

Encryption of images is done from your current "Web ready" JPG and GIF filesbut does not add any additional level of compression, meaning the image isnot adversely affected during the conversion and encryption process. Thisallows the digital rights management system to integrate well with existingcontent development work-flows and popular applications like Adobe Photoshopand Macromedia Fireworks.

Additional DRM features of Secure Image Pro 3.0.2 include:

Protection from Adobe Acrobat 5 "open Web page" copy functionsProtection from "right Mouse click" and MSoft Explorer page savingProtection from bandwidth theft and unauthorized linkingEncryption to protect cached images in the Temporary Internet FolderLocking of your image to a designated Web siteAn effective means of labelling the artwork for status bar displayAn announcement of the Artist and Title while being downloadedAdd an image frame border with desired thickness and colourImproved platform support for Windows and Mac usersMouse over action for swapping images (print protection)File import by the folderBatch saving of more than 3,000 images on a single commandMulti-user register for managing several domainsAutomatic scaling of original image size
