How do you guys/gals get photographs from the internet?

edited February 2015 in General Banter

I used to get photos from photo bucket but doesn't seem to work anymore. By searching 'photos' 'x-topic' I see youtube photos (not videos) but I can't figure out how to lift one.

For example in another thread I wanted a photo of knights charging.

    I use google, click on "images" and search for the subject. Pick an image, right click and save it.

    @Cinorjer I found images in google but didn't find a share button. I am using a mac so no right click if that's it.

    OK, after careful consideration, I have no idea how to do something that is simple on a PC but Apple in their wisdom decided their users had to go without. Sorry.

    I usually do pretty good at images, but I have had hit and miss with the youtube videos. One time it works, the next time it doesn't. One forum I frequent has a special edit button to add youtube videos. I google images, look for the one I want, click on it then again on the image and it will show the actual size, then copy the url / link / whatev, enter it in the right space and it will show up as a link then I preview to see that it's all okay...maybe you know already most of this. It can be confusing especially when it doesn't work like it's supposed to.

    I have no idea what you were saying!! I just hit 'save as' to my desktop and then used the little paper with a corner turned down tool from newbuddhist to go append the image

    Oops. I try to avoid saving all that stuff to my computer, but it's probably the better route. You are a MUCH faster learner than I - :blush:

    You can delete it from the desktop right? It doesn't delete from NB site if I delete it on my computer?

  • ShoshinShoshin No one in particular Nowhere Special Veteran

    @Jeffrey, it's ok to delete it from your downloads, and don't worry the image will stay on the NB site...

    I google an approximate title for any image I'd like to find.
    I then click 'Images'
    I find an image I want.

    I right click to 'open image in new tab'.
    I 'save image as....'

    I 'save image as' something, on desk top.
    I drag to icon on top of comments box.

    Once I know it's there, I delete it off the desk top.
    I regularly empty my trash bin and delete my caches and files.

    Simples!
