Im not really sure if there is much I can do about this but I have a ton of images that should not be downloaded. Is there any way I can stop people from downloading images from my website.

A no right click script is un professional and I am looking for other solutions to protect all of my images on the site. I could make a watermark but that is only half of the solution.

The part that I really dont want / like is my custom .png files downloaded. Thanks.

I found this today also and wondering if it is a good way to do what I need?

You can use the original image as a background & put a transparent-blank file over it that matches the size of the real image.

For ex:

<div id="image1" style="background-image: url(originalImage.jpg);">
    <img src="blank.gif" height="250px" width="300px">
</div>

So, when the image is right-clicked, it will be the blank.gif that can be reached.

its just misguiding and it takes about 1 sec longer to download the image.

Firefox:
* ctrl+i //page info
* media tab
* select the images you want.
* "save as"

Your best bet is to watermark the images - I've actually got most of the pieces in place for watermarking support, so will get that into a new release of the image support module.
