ok here's the deal - daughter is at camp - camp posts the pictures through a commercial service for camps that wants you to buy the pics and has it set up so that you can't get to the actual url of the photo to download it. They want like 3.99 for a 4x6 which they aren't going to get from me.....the basic setup is a thumbnail page >click>main picture only the main picture can't be right clicked or propertied, etc. ... i have tried a couple of image downloading programs so far but no luck......ones that drill down a couple of levels, etc.

any ideas appreciated

TIA

You may want to do some google searching, there are methods to get around right-clicking. Also, check the source code of the page. Naturally there is only so much we can do without getting a much better representation.

I get pics like that all the time by viewing the source of the page, then you can fing the url and just paste that into the address bar and then you can right click and download

the source code of the ultimate page is masked so you can't get it - the image is embedded - might have one other program here that can get to the /images/ directory

hehe, I never would have thought it either, so easy. Don't blame you for not wanting to cough up $4 a photo.
