I want to know how you cannot let people save your pictures from your site.
Is there a way?

Yes, do not put them on the web, is the only way to protect them. Put low quality image up.

when you have a question, you should try looking up that question in the
search box to see if you can get your answer or at least be able to modify
your question to get more exact help. If you put in "downloading picture" in
the search box, read the other question that asks about how to prevent
pictures from being taken, then continue searching other words to get your
answer. (this method is usually quicker, at least in the long run, than
waiting for a response) Thanks

"PRIXIE" wants to know:

Not possible.

How a browser works:
#1 request sent to server
#2 server sends all files needed for the webpage to the
client
#3 client computer saves all files to browser cache, aka
'temporary internet files'
#4 browser puts together webpage from copies that are on
your computer

So; in reality, a copy of your images, text, etc is already
stored on the client computer before the surfer even sees
the page.

A popular (but consired amateur amongs other things) is to
use a javascript to prevent the right click. The casual
surfer may be stopped, but the knowing people can just
disable javascript support which renders the code inert. I
don't care for sites that use this technique as there are
other things I like to use on right-click

About the best thing you can do to reduce the proliferation
of your graphics is to make them undesirable. This can be
done by using a low quality image or to 'optically'
watermark it in a graphic editor by inserting some text over
the actual image

There is also digital watermarking available (eg Digimarc)
which will encode copyright information into the image. This
does not prevent anything, but (for a cost) they can track
your images for copyright infringement. IMHO it's worthless.
