screen cap of single pic

[Jan C. Faerber]

Is there a tool which can copy or screen cap a single picture
just by clicking it?
AFAIK you can capture the whole screen, one single window or
a selected area.
When you download stuff you always run danger to
eat malicious bytes.
Until now viruses are not embedded in jpgs or gifs, or?
But it would be quite comfortable to get the pic by clicking it
if it is not sliced.
A programm should be able to recognize the area of the picture
if you don't break any copyright issues.

Hi Jan,

Right-click the image in your browser and select "Copy".

Load up your paint program and select "Edit" then "Paste" from the toolbar.


Hope this helps

I am assuming you mean a tool beyond right clicking on the image and
copy or save image as.

Yes - it must not be by clicking the pics in the browser.
Would be possible to have a programm window showing something like
small thumbs of a page's pics to select the desired caps.
My idea was to get the pic from the screen memory.
Because sometimes saving pics is restricted or they are placed behind
small
1x1px transparent gifs.
Maybe js could get the position and size of the pic and clue it
together with some open source code for screen caps.
( Like when you search for a lyric of a song, you can not copy the
text and in the source html the text is filled with escaped
characters. )
I guess different image file types may need sometimes different tools
- e.g. ie problem with transparency in pngs. On the other hand side
images are not as difficult as videos.

Would FF's Developer plugin do it? It has an options to display all
the images their respective information on a single page.

Firefox, not extension required: Tools > Page Info > Media tab select
image and Save As...

I use the free program Gadwin Print Screen. Go to their download page
at http://www.gadwin.com/download/ and the download is the last one at
the bottom of the page. You can capture the whole page or select any
desired area of the page to capture. Then you can output the captured
image as an image file such as a jpg, send to the printer, send to
another image program, etc. It has worked well for me on the Microsoft
XP and Vista OSs. It is claimed to work on Windows 95 through at least
Vista. It apparently is not available for non-Microsoft OSs. Of course
Gadwin has more elaborate programs for sale, but the free program does
all I need.

I believe I read a few years ago that some viruses or worms had been
found in files ending with image extensions such as jpg. Of course
such a file need not even contain a usable image. After you download
the damage may already be done, image or no image.

Or even just drag-n-drop the image to your desktop.

Indeed. At least on Macs, this is what to do.

And Win XP/Vista/7 PC's.

Yes!
