True, any screen capture utility will work, but even if the image is larger than the screen resolution, it's possible (at least sometimes) to download the full size image even if Flickr's right click option has been disabled. I was looking at a Flickr portfolio yesterday (can't remember which now) where "The owner has disabled downloading of their photos". And indeed there was no right click "save image as" option available. But there was a "save page as" option which downloaded the photo nicely into it's own folder. Maybe there are other configuration options in Flickr that will prevent this but this particular Flickr user wasn't as protected as he/she thought they were. I'm still trying to decide if I want to sign up for yet another on line service.....
