I use Paintshop Pro 7, which has a capture feature that allows you to take
screenshots one at a time, an area, or several in succession. I've used
this to save images that otherwise wouldn't save, either because they were
disabled, or they were dummied up in some odd way to prevent downloading
(I.e. Java or something). But it's not hard to circumvent this
'protection', I've done it multiple ways, all of which are perfectly
legit, which just goes to show that the only way you can -completely-
secure something is to simply just never show anybody else. But we don't
want that. :)
An "Image Copyright (person)" is the best way to make sure your image
isn't stolen, even if it can be removed with some careful manipulation.
Your best bet is to put it somewhere not so conspicuous, like writing it
in fencework or along a character's leg as a tattoo of some kind, or
something like that. Creative Copyright placement can save you lots of
headaches down the road. Also remember this. If you put it somewhere
that's free, there will be people who will download and display it
elsewhere and there's nothing you'll be able to do to stop it. Protect
your work with properly (And tastefully) displayed copyright tags. While
placing "OMG COPYRIGHT MEEEEE" in giant big-block letters all over your
image -is- effective...nobody's going to want to look at your artwork. ;)
