Saving images from the web?

How can i save an image to computer from the wed - with a pc i used to simply right click and save as - with the mac i have yet to figure it out?

If your mouse hasn't been "set up" and you like it just fine out of the box, as I do, click on the image and hold, then move your (still held down) mouse until the pointer reaches the spot where you wish to deposit the image, then release. I use some extra desktop space along the side, above and below my dock. Later you can put the images where you want them, unedited, or edit them and save them to iPhoto for eventual reuse.
Sorry, forgot that with your 17" display you may not have any extra space, and your hard drive icon may be covered up by a browser window, while the Dock's Finder can't accept a drop even if your dock is visible, in which case my method is no help.
Unless you're using the entire full screen, there should be enough space to deposit images, as only a slim slice, or section, of desktop is necessary. Regardless how small the section, you can always retrieve the image from the desktop view of a Finder window, which at the bottom gives you a count of how many items are on your desktop.

  • Getting images from the web

    When I copy an image from the web and paste it in AI the URL is inserted and not the image.  How do I change that?

    I understand the rights issue and I am complying to any rights issue.  The issue that I am having is at home I can copy and paste an image in to AI from the web but at work I cannot do the same thing.  It is an extra step that I am not use to.  I know it is some sort of setting I just cannot find. 
    For example, if you look up "tigers" on Google, take the first image of tiger and paste it in AI are you able to do it?
    When I do this I get the below text instead of the image:
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Tiger_in_Ranthambhore.jpg
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, I use a ton of images from my factories that I need to use for my job.

  • Load picture control with png image from the web

    Hi guys,
    Is there an example anywhere for Labview 8.6 for loading a picture control with png image from the web?

    Hi lavalava,
    here you find a note on how to load pictures from the internet. After grabbing the data you could save them to a file, load the file with the picture file functions and then convert it into the image datatype to feed a picture indicator with the data...

  • Illustrator CC (Mavericks) crashes when pasting images from the web.

    I have read many forums of illustrator crashing, and most of them is about the Wacom tablet. I do have a tablet, so I uninstalled the software, but tried pasting an image from the web, and sure enough it crashed again.
    Hope you can help me, because this is very frustrating
    Thanks in advance,
    Alexandra

    Umm, well, have you considered that this is the most rubbish workflow one can imagine? Seriously. Save the images locally from your browser and them import them using the place command and even that only after checking them in Photoshop. There could be any number of issues here like files being damaged or having crooked color profiles attached that make AI go kaboom... Again, it's simply a very, very bad workflow.

  • PDF file won't open after saving it from the web.  get error message file is damaged.

    My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web.  I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion? 

    I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
    But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
    CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

    More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these:
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Issues saving images from the internet!!!

    I just got my iPhone 4s and I am having issues saving photos from Tumblr onto my phone. The tap and hold does not work, it doesn't come up with the menu at the bottom to save the photo, it just gives me the option to copy the photo which doesn't help me one tiny bit. Am I being stupid or something? It seems so simple...

  • Pixelated lines across images from the web module in LR

    I use Lightroom 5.2 and am having problems when exporting via the Web module. When I use the basic LR HTML template or plug-ins like Juicebox and TTG, there are pixelted lines acorss some (but not all) of the images. This has started to happen in the last few weeks. Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Here's my guess ... somehow the file has gotten corrupted.
    I can't tell you exactly what step it got corrupted at ... you'll have to do the research ... it could be that it is corrupt on your hard disk, and Lightroom is attempting to use a corrupted photo; or it could be when Lightroom exports via the Web Module the file is saved in correupted form (most likely cause is a bad hard disk); or it could get corrupted in the upload; or it could be corrupted on the hard disk on the server (bad hard disk again).

  • Cannot copy and paste images from the web into Corel Draw

    Attempting to copy and paste a jpg image from a client's website, for use in Corel Draw... Copy appears to work fine, and pasting into other programs like Windows Paint works, but paste to CorelDraw has no result.
    I've seen where others would get the text URL but nothing happens when I hit paste.
    Drag and drop imports the text name of the image.

    Since Firefox 13, when you copy an image, Firefox places both the image data (bitmap data) and the URL of the image on the clipboard. I can see why you would get one or the other, but I can't think of why you would get nothing.
    Did this just start in Firefox 22?
    Some odd interactions have been noted between Firefox 22 and ZoneAlarm: when ''copying'' selected text in Firefox, the clipboard may end up blank a significant percentage of the time . But it sounds as though you have a different issue.
    Do you have the same issue in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • I can't import images from the web into my iphoto 8

    I installed snow leopard a few weeks ago and when I try to click on an image on a website like a friends photo from myspace, and drag it to my Iphoto's icon in my dock it gets rejected, But I was able to do that very same thing before and it would work. I don't know why it won't now unless it is snow leopard. can someone help me fix this problem? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Several people have mentioned this and it seems to be a change with 10.6
    If you're using Safari then right click on an image and choose 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Otherwise drag the image to the desktop first.

  • Unable to "Drag N Drop" images from the web to itunes "Get Info" for photo!

    I convert LP's to MP3 and use iTunes as my program. Many of my LP's I want to have the images on the MP3. I use an excellent source of "discogs.com". Many people have saved me the time of picture taking and editing. I can just drag and drop to the iTunes. Well about 2 updates ago I cannot do this any longer. Why? I have to pull the image to the desktop and then drop into the iTunes.
    Please restore this feature and save me the issues.

  • New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg image from the web (as in a right click on a pc?)

    New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

    If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.
    See this for setting the hidden pref for context menus in Firefox, for Mac's.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.click_hold_context_menus
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
