How to serve only images using htaccesss but not the folder

Currently i have this:

#Expections
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/uploads.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,NC]

This serves the entire folder uploads. But I want to serve the images inside, not the entire folder. Meaning, if somebody types in: mydomain.com/uploads, I don't want them to see a list of images inside that folder but I want to say, forbidden. Only if they have the exact URL they can see the image.

You need to add an option to Apache to disable the displaying the contents of a folder

<Directory /var/www/.../uploads>
    Options -Indexes

</Directory>

Replace "..." with the location of your website. If there are other options within the Directory command, keep those.
