You can disable right-click using javascript (www.hotscripts.com). Another good idea is to make the images appear on a mouse-over function, so that they are only visible which hovering on the title. However, images can always be stolen easily by either looking at the source, or taking a screenshot of the page and pasting it in photoshop.... it's a tough business protecting photos.

To add to that:
When a visitor views an image on a website, then that image is already on his computer, because the browser downloads the images and puts them in a temporary folder (caches it) on the client computer.
So although you can make it more difficult, e.g. by disabling the right click on the images, it's really not possible to prevent "stealing" of images.
I think the best way to make those photos 'safe' is to watermark them (in some graphics program).
Hope this helps.

... and to add some more
there are plenty of scripts out there that will allow you to watermark images in batches, which will save you a lot of time. i can't dicrect you to any but have a look around and i'm sure you'll find some.
although i just had a thought, MarjaR: what if pbking2k3 creates a gallery in Flash? the flash gallery will enbed all the images into one file, meaning that none of the images will be put accross onto the cache.
is that a good solution? although it might be too much hassle to do that unless you dynamically insert the contents of a folder into a flash gallery using PHP/XML as a connector. never tried it myself, just kinda throwing ideas.
