I'm a big Holly Morgan fan and I came across a pictorial of her at ATK Galleria:

Holly Morgan pictorial

How can I save this pictorial on my computer? Normally, if I come across a pictorial of a girl that I like, I just save the URL on a floppy disk. But it will be useless to save the URL of this ATK Galleria pictorial of Holly Morgan because ATK only leaves these sample pictures up for a week before replacing them with a different girl.

Is it possible to save these pictures on a floppy disk, or do they have to be saved to my hard drive? I'm not very good when it comes to computers, so I don't know how to save pictures. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

They allow you to download a zipped file of the pix with one click. After that, you can move the file to a floppy
or just keep it on your hard drive.

Someone else has already directed you to a link there, that will allow you to download what you want. That is the way to go.

But, since you asked :) , there is a way to save things you see on your screen to a picture file. This probably depends the operating system you are using - it is a good bet that you are using some version of Windows.

When you get on your screen that which you wish to save, hold down ALT and tap the Print Screen key once. That saves your screen to the clipboard.
Then open Paint. It is a basic drawing/graphic program that comes with Windows. Paste from the clipboard into Paint. Then you can save it as a .jpg or whatever you like.
There are other programs, other than Paint, that will accept the Paste function just fine, in case you are already familiar with them. Just give it a try and see what happens.

What I have just described above works fine with Window 98 and I seem to remember that it works with Windows NT also.
Maybe somebody else here will chime in and let us know if it still works with newer stuff, like Windows XP and Windows 2000.

I suggest you try this now, just for the fun of it. And you'll also fix it in your memory, just how easy it is to do, for when the time comes that you really want to do it.
If you stumble, get back to us in here, and somebody will step you through it.

All you have to do is right-click on the picture, choose "save as . . ." from the menu that pops up, and navigate to the floppy disc or wherever you want to save it.

That is best way, but sometimes some sites don't allow to do
right-click.
you can always do it with actual .jpg links, like:
http://www.xonweb.com/videoemails/frontcovers/54.jpg
but some sites don't allow to save pictures from html page,
right-click is disabled.

But Answer is in Mozilla Firefox.
Tools > Options > Web Features > Advanced.
Uncheck "Disable or replace context menus" option.
After that you can Always do right-click.

What about (for example) saving the front boxcover when it automatically flips to the back boxcover the moment you run the cursor over it?

In that case, willywilly's print-screen method is the best, provided the the image isn't bigger than your internet window. Also, you can try retrieving the .jpg or .bmp in your internet cache (tools -> internet options -> temporary internet files -> settings -> show files) Sorry for the improvised translation, I've got a French-language system. This method also works for some streaming Quicktime & Windows Media videos.

where is that kind of cover?
i don't remember, give link.

But with Firefox, if you temporally Uncheck
"Change images" option in Advanced -page.
does the trick, and you can save the picture.
And then Check that option back, and you see back cover again when you run the cursor over it.

I did try it with sunghi.com menus, and it works.
But where is those kind of covers?

PS: Also with Firefox and other browsers, it also solves this problem if you temporally Disable .
In Firefox Uncheck "Enable " option in Web Features -page.

Again Firefox to the rescue! With the PrefButtons extension I have added a button "(this tab)" to my toolbar and when I click that it disables for the current tab and I can just save the picture with 'right-click, save image as' and the back picture I just save with on.


1on1: have a look at our site (just click my avatar) most movies there have a front- and backcover picture like Sir W describes.
