Picture technical question

#1 07-17-2014

Usually when I see an item I wish to sell on a website, I make the image of the item as large as possible, right click, save as.

If the photo is the right size for ebay, then perfect its all done.

My problem is, some websites don't allow you to right click on their photos and 'save as' there is no apparent way to download or save these pictures.

Does anyone know a way?

At the moment I'm googling the item and choosing poorer quality photos from google images. Not ideal.

Cheers

You have to be careful the images are not encrypted.

If there is a chance of misuse of an image, be careful.

The way i read the thread by GWW it is for safe images. Check that soon.

How do you know if they are encrypted gb?

And what would it mean?

Best and simple way is to use your own pics

If the site does not want their images used, may be the reason the right click does not work.

Anything could be saved if you can see it on your screen but really depends on how it has been protected.
You shall give an example.

Bear in mind that, as GreenBean said, it has been protected because is copyrighted... not a good idea to use it for your auction.

Customization is key

I would try to do a screenshot and crop it in Photoshop/Corel.
