Save “Copy Protected” Photos From Websites/Blogs/Orkut Album.

5 September 2008 |

You might have observed few website/blogs which are having copy protected images(ie.Right click is disabled on pages).Good example of this is Albums in Popular Social Networking site Orkut.com.Photos from orkut albums cannot be saved because administrators have disabled the feature of right clicking on Photos. Right click and Save Image As will not work with Orkut.So to overcome this problem I have discovered few simple tricks so that the Images can be saved easily.

Trick 1: (Easiest)

The Easiest Trick is Just taking screenshot and cropping the image using Microsoft Paint.It?s a convenient method if you want to save only a couple of photos.

Steps:

1)Goto to Photo Page of Album

2)Press “Print Screen” Button(Some Keyboards have “Prnt Screen”,it varies on various keyboards).Basically it is situated in first row of the keys above arrow keys.

3)Open Microsoft Paint.Press Ctrl+V(It is used to Paste the screenshot Image)

4)Crop the photo using cropper of MsPaint and Save File.

Trick 2:
1)Click on the Photo.
2)Drag the Photo to the Addressbar of your browser and Drop.
3)The link location is displayed and the photo is displayed in full length in the bar which now enabled the Right-Clicking.
4)Now, you can Right-Click and click ?Save Image As? to save it to your drive.

Trick 3:
Backgroundimage Saver is a simple firefox extension that provides help in such cases. When installed, it automatically detects such background images when you click on them and shows ?Save Background Image As? option, as highlighted in screenshot below.

Download(Compatible with firefox only)

Trick 4:( Not Compatible with Firefox 3 )

This is currently applicable to only versions lower than Firefox? 3.0

Let me make it clear with one thing, This trick is for firefox.For IE, you workout in similar way.

Follow the steps below:

1. Load the page from which you want to copy image/

2. Wait Until Page is completely loaded.

3. Now Click Tools>Page Info.

4. You will get a window as shown in below figure on which you need to click on Media Button.
