disable viewing images via direct browser calls

Hello everyone,

I have a question, im on a Apache/Linux server. I was wondering is there a way to stop people from typing direct images URL's in there browser to view images through out my site. I thought maybe this could be done with .htaccess or mod rewite.

Thanks all!
