You can use imagecache to display images resized and place an .htaccess in the directory with the original file.
In .htaccess add:
Order Deny,Allow Deny from all

Hi all,
I want to allow my users to upload photos from their digital cameras. I will use Image Styles to resize and watermark the photos to display in galleries, etc. I then want to prevent access to the original, full-size, non-watermarked photos; but even using a private file system with the directory set outside the web root folder, it seems the original photos are still accessible if you know (or can guess) the URL...
Is there any possible way to prevent anyone accessing the original photos, but allow full access to the image style derivatives?
