Can I Disable the Pop-up to view larger image on product page

[arti-bytes]

It probably sounds like a strange question, but...  We love the hover-zoom feature that shows detail images of the artwork products, which you need when selling art.  Because it is artwork, we don't want people to be able to click on the image and see the whole file at once.  Is there a way to disable the full-sized image pop-up (colorbox?), and still keep the hover-zoom feature working?

We've had to deal with people stealing my daughters' art before, and I would rather prevent the option of that happening through the store.  I do have a simple watermark on the images, and don't want to apply a larger watermark as it is not visually appealing to potential customers.

Any suggestions?

You can try this -- in the file /js/common.js, near line 346:

Find:
var magnify_options = {lensWidth:250, lensHeight:250, link:true, delay:250};
Change to:
var magnify_options = {lensWidth:250, lensHeight:250, link:false, delay:250};

To test, you will need to have your browser force-reload the page's resources. For Firefox, this accomplished by holding SHIFT while clicking the circular arrow in the address bar. Other browsers will have similar methods.

I must advise you this does not stop anyone determined enough to fetch the image directly, once the image's URL is discerned.
