My super easy way to view the url:
In firefox, right click any thumbnail in the gallery, select copy link,
paste into location bar and presto, you've got your image.
Don't know if this works in other browsers.
Two ways to easily hide the url:
1: use flash
2: use javascript to encode the url with a public/private key encryption
scheme. Then write a little javascript to "catch" the users click on the
link and decode the url. Catching the click is very easy, it is what
lightbox.js does, it's used on most webpages you've ever been too (at
least modern web 2.0 ones). The encryption would be very easy to do and
could be handled on the server side through an AJAX call or something
similar and would be transparent to the user and just as quick as it is
now.
But this is all super paranioa. You can still just screen capture the
image no matter what you do.... A logo would work but it has to be big or
else patience and photoshop would make your logo disappear.
I second the belief that if you don't want your image copied on the web
don't stick it up there. Also as mentioned an inkjet print is not a gum
print, (or whatever it is)..
