Saving Photos From Flickr

CrazyBones · Post by **CrazyBones** » Tue May 19, 2009 7:24 pm

Flickr has some copyright security on its photos. When you try saving a photo, it'll appear as a small little dot when you try to view it from your hard drive. Anyone know how to bypass this?

Worst case use the PrtScrn key to copy a screen shot to the clipboard, and then paste it into your favorite image editor, crop and save. Tedious but if nothing else works...

or farstone capture...find a freeware version and you can just capture the image area directly to whatever file type you want. i use it all the time for documentation at work.

Using Firefox. Go to Tools --> Page Info.

Then select "Media". From here, go through each pic until you see the preview of the picture you want. Then just "save as. . ."

i wonder if the "download them all" FF plug-in would also work? i haven't used it in years....
