Someone I know is in one of these photos. Can one of you tell me how to copy and save the photo?
PS -- the person I know is not one of the black people!

Assuming you're on Windows:
1. Make sure the entire picture is on your screen
2. Press the PrtSc (Print Screen) button. It should be up near your scroll lock.
3. Click Start-->Run
4. Type "mspaint" and click Ok.
5. Click Ctrl+V (or from the menu, Edit-->Paste)
6. Crop the picture and save it.

Too bad you don’t use Mac! You could just drag the picture to your desktop and it would be copied for you!

You can do that on Windows, too, depending on your browser for most pictures, but that site uses some html tricks to keep you from directly being able to select the image, so you can't drag it. That trick I gave above works for sites that use Flash to show slideshows.

My next laptop will be a Mac. I have FINALLY tired of unexplained crashing. Get an iphone made me realize how much Gates has killed innovation for the PC.

Going to the picture in the slideshow that you want, right clicking, and hitting "view background image" works for me in Firefox (on linux). YMMV.

Uhh . . . Did you decide to make her do it the hard-way just to entertain your-self? I simply right-click the image, and select "Save As" my-self. I only use "Print Screen" for sites like WWTDD where the web-master has disabled right-clicking (Which is bull-shit as the guy who runs that site generally gets his images from other web-sites - What an ass-hole).

I didn't see any black people in the picture.
HK, If I buy a Snuggie, will you get all wrapped up in it with me?

No, as much as I enjoy a good practical joke, at the time you couldn't right-click and download the image, which I assume is why she was asking.

My miss-take, Dude. I just checked and the "Save As" option doesn't seem to come up. Odd that.
And, yeah, I didn't see any black people in the image either. Did they change it since HKG posted?

It's html, not a jpg, tif, etc.

Alternate method: There are plenty of freeware screencap programs out there for both platforms. Most allow you to designate an area of the screen (rather than the whole thing, and then using something separate to crop it) to be copied and save in any format you'd like. I find this especially useful when something interesting is embedded in a Flash display or right-click disabled. Ofttimes, simply dragging a pic to your desktop will give you the "clearcoat," an embedded, empty image above the real one, utilized to prevent image theft.

If you're on Vista, there's a little known utility called the Snipping Tool that's built in that does just that. Just type "snip" into the start menu search bar and it should come up. I just was too lazy to go find a tool online and I knew by the time she'd answered what OS she was on, she would already have the picture.
