Short Answer:

Although we do offer a way to do this, you should know that you cannot really prevent people from stealing your product photos this way.  You may have seen some sites where whenever you right-click, it gives you a warning message, preventing you from saving the picture.  Most web-designers know that all you need to do to get around that is to disable Javascript in your browser. 

We recommend putting watermarks on your images (e.g. using Photoshop) for the best protection.

Detailed Explanation:

If you put this script on top of any page that has images you want to protect (e.g. catalog page):

<script language="javascript">                
//Disable right mouse click Script

var message="Due to the nature of our product we ask that you do not download our images.";            
///////////////////////////////////      
function clickIE4(){if (event.button==2){alert(message);      
return false;      
}      
}
function clickNS4(e){      
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){      
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){      
alert(message);    
return false;    
}    
}    
}            
if (document.layers){    
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);    
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;    
}    
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){    
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;    
}             
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")               
</script>
