I use a program called "Print Screen Deluxe". Does same thing plus will save to a file and or send to printer. In a message dated 10/12/2011 9:06:20 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Another trick for downloading photos, since a lot of websites and sellers are posting flash pics, which do not respond to a right-click save: in VISTA or WIN 7 go to your START button, click on ALL programs - scroll down to "accessories" and click it - a list will appear - scroll down to "Snipping Tool" and click it - a window should appear in your task bar titled Snipping Tool and it will ask if you would like to add it to your Quick Launch bar - click "Yes" and it will place itself to the right of your START button. Now, when you want to copy ANYTHING, whether it is normally something you can copy or not, you just click on the snipping tool - click "NEW" and drag an outline around the picture or entire window you want to capture and it will save it as a graphic image - one caveat is that it leaves a small red outline around your pic, but other than that it works great. If you don't like the red line you can get a program called SNAG-IT, which captures images without the lin e. Snipping Tool is free - Snag-It is not - however you can find it for free on http://www.filecrop.com - and I am not endorsing that method, if you choose to pursue it... > Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:01:58 -0400 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Ebay does it again (delete if not interested) > > you can always download the image.

In the address bar of the competed item, you can replace the ".com" with ".ca" or ".co.uk" or any other foreign ebay server address. This will let you see the completed auction with all the ebay photos. > > > > Some of the ebay customer service reps were clueless as to why I or anyone else would need to see ALL the ebay pics!
