Specific Customization for Meteor slides / alternative plugin?

Hello all!
I’m working on a site for a photographer and would like to create a slideshow for each series of photos.
I am currently using the Departure theme (thank you Raygun) with the Meteor slideshow plugin, (thanks Mr Leuze). This combination was PERFECT and until the client asked for a load of different features, sigh!

Here is an example of what he wants in terms of image display – http://matthewthompsonphotography.com/show/set/magnum-munich

SO, I need to have
– text overlapping the first image, with a semi-transparent / faded effect on the image
– navigation arrows on the top right with options to redisplay the info at any time and the number of images in the series. Image 1 of 12 to be displayed as – “1/12”
– a button to show thumbnails of the entire series, top right

– lastly, and most importantly, the images should be protected from download. My client is very particular about his images being stolen and used elsewhere. I know this is probably not possible to be 100% safe, but protection against ‘click and drag’ and ‘right-click’ downloads would be great.

Should I adjust the meteor slides plugin? or is there a plugin that has these features.

Any help greatly appreciated, I know I’m being very demanding today!

Thanks,
