How do I 'grab' a photo off a web page! Help please....

[mystic]

Been trying to figure this out for a while now ....... but getting absolutely nowhere!

Can anyone give a barely computer-literate numpty like me ...... a few pointers ( and if possible in language I can get my head round )

BTW ........ have a Mac not a PC, hope that doesn't make things even more complicated!


Here's hoping ..............

Right click on the image which will bring up a drop down menu, scoll down to save image and click on it, easy as that.

Hold down the "ctrl" button and then click, this will give you the drop down menu and then save image as.

I thought that the first addon that the discerning Mac user always bought was a Microsoft Mouse

not for some while...

apple's mighty mouse only has one physical button but it works as two.

lift left finger and click with right finger on the right hand side. acts just the same as a second button or control + click.

that would be Control+ Click then.

If the image you are "grabbing" is copyrighted to Getty Images be very, very careful indeed what you do with it.

Do not use it on a website.

I speak from personal experience and the bill runs into £thousands !!

click and drag to the desktop works on my xp machine

hmmm, just tried it. seems i was mistaken there

if you use a mac and mighty mouse go into preference setup and set the mouse controller to have right and left clicks makes the whole MAC ownership less of a pain in the neck.

if the image is protected you can do a screen grab put the whole image on a base layer then cut the image out in photoshop....
