Saving ebay pictures

Need help here.

When i win a coin on ebay I save the ebay picture for my records. I can't seem to take decent pictures myself. Now I can no longer do this since their format change to a while back. When right clicking the picture i don't get the Save Image option in the popup window.

Anybody know a way around this? In know getting the right equipment and learning to use it is the best way to go but it was just so easy copying something that was already there.

Thanks,
Mike

Alt+PrintScreen copies the contents of your current window to your clipboard, then you can paste it into MSPaint and save as a new file.

If all else fails you can do a "print scrn" (hold the Fn key and press the print scrn key) then paste it into a file. Be sure you maximize the screen first so the image is as big as possible.

You can open a file with paint then paste the screen shot there (by pressing Ctrl and the V key) and crop the rest of the screen. It might reduce the resolution compared to the original but it will work.

Some ebayers will get mad if you re-use their image so it's best to ask.

Thanks for the input. I'll try the print screen. I like to keep the images for my records.

When I right click the picture I get the Save Image option.

There is generally another way or two, and the pics get saved better.
Can you give me a link to one in question and I will see if it works?

Link to auction

The Ctrl+PrntScrn worked.

Thanks Everyone

I just right clicked a picture from the listing page and it allowed me to save the picture to my desktop. Try again.

If you're using Firefox, right click on the page that opens that shows the pictures of the coins, and click "View Page Info", then in the Media section, find the image, and click "Save As".

To save the reverse images, click on the pic to let it load, then do those two steps again.

BoggledMind, I like this better. I save only the image and not the whole page. I did found that I need to select the image before enlarging it.

By the way, what do you all think of my latest pick up.

Thanks,
Mike

Yep....that is why I wanted to see the auction...bogglemind got back to the post before I did but the instructions are basically the same in IE.....right click when over the picture, choose the SAVE PICTURE, and there you have it. Voila!

Make sure to choose the "enlarge" option so you can save the larger one before right clicking.

For Macs its shift command 4 for screen save. Guess no one else has a Mac?

Thanks I too like to save the photos of winnings, This is by far the easiest of the above.

You can also click and drag the photo (enlarged version preferably) onto a blank Word page.

Yes. I have found that if you use Internet Explorer that you can get the save image option whereas you can't with FireFox. Don't know about Opera. Don't think it works for Google Chrome either.
