The difference between Java and Javascript is enormous, despite the similar
names, so it is important to refer to each correctly.

Not if you are hoping that he will buy _your_ images.

In that case, if he has Javascript turned off, he'll be able to see the image
_and_ right-click on it to save it.

Visible watermarks are not a bad idea, but digital watermarks are a waste of
time (I'm not sure which type of watermark PSP 7 provides).  A copyright notice
is informative for honest people, but it is not an obstacle to the dishonest.

Are the raw files really useful enough to justify the space they occupy?  I
usually save images as JPEGs with minimal compression, after carefully tweaking
each scan.
