As I can remember Flickr uses a little trick to prevent saving some pictures. They overlay the original image with a transparent gif. So you can see the image but if you try to save it you only get the transparent gif. To avoid that I use Firefox and Adblock which blocks the transparent gif from loading. So I have access to the original image. For really complicated cases Firefox offers saving images in a site by opening the site's properties dialog. There is a tab calles Media where all images are listed and can be viewed and also saved. Sadly I don't know of any similar functions in IE. |
In reply to Message (24533) One pic & one techn. question
By the chiller - Thu 31/08/06 14:29:30 GMT Hi there, I'm still upset about this wetshots - server thing. Finally they decided to make any pic saving even MORE uncomfortable. Fine then. So let's move to somewhere else and maybe even better... ---> For those of you who - maybe - don't know: At the left corner of this picture (link below) is an Icon 'all sizes' . Click on it - now you CAN save that pic. Not all images on Flickr are 'public' , whatever that means. When there's no icon, the pic won't be saveable. Could someone please tell me, how to save then? Copy & paste or even drag & drop won't work this time! (I.E.)
Hey Rumpel, this one's for you! ;) Maybe someone else likes?
