At the most you can use Javascript to disable right-clicking and copying the image. Nothing more to my knowledge.
1. But if they temporarily disable their browser's Javascript feature they can right click and copy it.
2. If the user doesnt disable Javascipt then he just hit the print screen and paste it in MS Paint.
3. Your image will be stored in your PC's cache for the browser to show it - he can copy from there too.
You cannot have a full proof method to stop people from copying images shown on your page.

There are javascript solutions for this:

They don't work well. I've never seen one that claimed to b 100%. It's impossible to prevent images from being saved. They are after all downloaded in the first place so the person can view them. So if they really wanted them they could just go digging in their cache directory. That's why sites like corbis, geddy images use watermarks.
Hope this helps
what about....
