Any and every image that can be viewed on the web can be downloaded and there is absolutely no way to stop this.

These right click blocking features (even though I have it activated on my site - been there from my early days) are a waste of time.

If you don't want to take the chance that your pictures may be downloaded, then do not put them online. It's as simple as that.

More useful in stopping downloads is to put a watermark on the images.
