Re: Problem saving pictures from the web
I take a totally different tack, when grabbing a picture off of a web page or any other source.
I press my "Prt Scrn" key on my keyboard, to copy the entire screen to my Windows Clip Board.
Then I open my Picture program, "Photo Filtre" from the icon in my Quick Launch Toolbar, and "Paste as new image" the contents of the clipboard
into the Photo Filtre screen.
Then I can easily crop the image to show only the part I want to keep, resize the image to less than 800kb and SAVE AS to my pictures folder.
The entire process, although sounding complex, is VERY simple and can take less than one minute.
I've installed the FREE Photo Filtre for many of my customers who take lots of photos and need to process them.
Even though they may have used other photo processing software in the past, they all seem to love "Photo Filtre".
I won't set up Windows on any PC, of my own, without it. Capturing a whole screen, just bypasses so many problems
with downloading and saving a photo from the web.
Cheers mates!
