I have created a list in sharepoint. In that list there is a field which I want to make read only or invisible when the user tries to add or edit a list item through sharepoint UI. I want this because that particular field gets populated through a webpart and
direct data entry into that field is unnecessary for my project. Is there any way to make a sharepoint column (for me its a picture column) read only or invisible in the sharepoint UI.
thank you,

As I know it SharePoint OTB only lets users set permission on a row of a list. To deal this shortage I am using
SharePoint Column VIew Permission to set column permission as it gives me seveeral options like 'read only' and 'view permission'.

Hello Everybody,
I have found the solution for my problem
I created the field using CAML. The field definition element <Field> has the following properties that can be used to show/hide the field in the UI.

You can also use Infowise Smart List Pro which is a set of improvements for the OOTB capabilities of list or document library in sharepoint.
You can define a set of rules and permissions that will show, hide or make the column read only. And much more.
