Are you saying that you've made it so that if the user rightmouse clicks on the image and selects 'Save Picture as' that this doesn't work? (I don't just mean disabling right mouse clicks) Also, are you saying that if the user examines the files in their browser cache, that the image is not there either?
If you have done these things then I'd be terribly impressed, and would be keen to know how you did it. So far I think Steve's suggestion of having a flash file image loader seems the most secure way of doing it, but also seems to be the most effort. Likewise, I hope you're only joking when you say that you want to stop screen captures from getting the image too. Next you'll be saying that you need to stop users pointing a digital camera at their monitors and stealing your images that way. My opinion has always been that for the user to see an image in their browser, you have to send them the file. Once you send them the file, they have it. If people stealing images from a website is that important, then maybe you should only offer low quality, watermarked images.
