How to do simple copy and past of posted image?
Apr 25, 2016 18:25:12 #
well I dont care why you copy and paste an image. To answer your question IF you cant cut and paste, windows has a tool called a snipping tool. This will copy the image for you, it will also copy images on sites that you couldnt usually copy or cut and paste on of their images. Such as sites that sell images.....

I would not open that link for fear of being accused of stealing it.

Regardless of your position on copyright, when you view a page on the Internet, Windows has already saved the file on your computer as a temporary (.tmp in Windows) file. The temp files remain there until you delete them manually or with a "cleaning" program. There are many free cleaning programs available on download sites like cnet's download.com. They purge your computer of all temp files, duplicate files, and other junk.
Having a temp file which is only basically a link to where the photo was viewed and that you did not actually elect to save is entirely different than actually copying and saving viewable photos in a dedicated file.
There seems to be a misunderstanding here about the difference between clicking a download button to view a photo and coping the photo. They are NOT the same thing.

I just got off the phone talking to someone about the same thing. In order for someone on the other end to be able to see the file wouldn't they also need a decoder or the encryption code? Thanks.
No. The entire work is visible on the website, but if they try to download the code, it looks like gibberish, and they can't right click the photos to save them.

I think the encryption program would stop that, it changes the code but puts a link in the code to the decription key. I used it very successfully on my site when folks were stealing my doggie photos and using them to advertise their dogs. Now I don't care any more. All the real dog people can recognize my dogs on sight, and the rest of them don't matter.

Whatever it does, the code is totally unusable. And the scrambled code was a jumble of gibberish. People who are hijacking code routines or photos are not going to be skilled programmers. When I used it, not one person ever got my code or photos. It did made updating my own code difficult however because I had to keep two versions, the vanilla version, and the gibberish version of every file and make changes first on the vanilla, then run the encryption before uploading. There were some costly mistakes, which led me to "why bother? Have fun with my stuff, glad you like it!"

No, it's the entire photo. Your computer cannot display images that it had not downloaded. Don't believe me? Try viewing a photo on the internet, them unplug your internet cable, then right click and save. How are you able to do that if the image hasn't actually downloaded yet?

Reread this portion of what I wrote. "...and that you did not actually elect to save..."
In the scenario you propose the image has downloaded to the page you are viewing, not to your computer. It's only when you copy and save that it's placed on your hard drive.
There's nothing wrong with downloading to view. That's what the download button is for. What I have trouble understanding is why someone feels the need to save someone else's image to a file on their computer. There is no viable reason to do that. You can see and view EXIF data without putting it in a file on your hard drive. If you want to have it to view later then you can bookmark it. I'm amazed at the number of people who vehemently feel otherwise.

Sorry, but several here have not understood. When your browser displays ANY image, that image file IS downloaded to your computer to your browser cache folder. It is the image, not a link. When you click the "Download" link here on UHH, the larger file is downloaded to your computer.Reread this portion of what I wrote. "...and that you did not actually elect to save..."

Thanks for the info, I hadn't planned on buying but was interested on how it works. Thanks again.

Great, then the test I told you to try should not work. Go ahead and give it a whirl.

Since you like tests so much, here's one for you. Go to the UHH gallery, open an image, any image. Click the download button to view. Now close your browser. Now without reopening your browser, find that image you just viewed. You can't because you didn't save it. Have a good day.

Walt you are spouting abject ignorance. You may not know how to locate the browser's cache but that doesn't not mean it does not exist.
Many people can easily find that image... with the Internet disconnected and the browser not running! Simply because it was in fact downloaded and saved to a file.
