  You can’t. Not even copyrighted pic.’s can stop right click anymore. A simple shift or CTRL + Enter will allow this. Put a watermark (free on Internet) on them or go to paint and put a copyright right on Pic. before saving them then uploading them. At least others will know they belong to you.

  Also can ghost them although I still never mastered this method.

  If you don’t want the image downloaded, don’t put it online in the first place. That’s the only way to guarantee it.

  Otherwise, a watermark and/or copyright notice is the best you can do. Also don’t upload high-res images but resize your image to the exact size you want to use before uploading. See here for more information: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/02/06/protecting-your-images-online-from-theft/
