  I am trying to keep people from downloading a slide show, just allow viewing. Is there a way to do that?

  That is not possible here.

  Even with tools available on other sites that stop right-clicks and thus the ability to select “download file as,” it’s trivial to view the site’s source code and get the original file URL or even just take a screenshot of the image.

  We have some recommendations at https://wordpress.com/support/prevent-content-theft/ but in general it’s not recommended that you make any content publicly available on the internet you wouldn’t want shared at some point.
