I didn't realise there was a difference between JPEG/Sprite loading speed - I will look into this as I'm using these images exactly as you said for a backdrop generator program, the very sophisticated but excellent BDRand by Nick Roberts. -- Regards Richard

Extracting a JPEG from a web page for a backdrop generator
Ref: JPEG only required Adjust-clicking over the save icon or Shift-F3 or even Select-clicking the packet icon if ButtonBar is loaded enables me to do a full-save on a selected image resolution on a site like http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper* and then dragging to a filer window. The full-saved file can then be opened, the relevant jpeg identified, selected and dragged to a filer window. The unwanted html gifs and css can then be binned. If many images are needed it becomes quite time consuming - Is there a simpler way? If I had the programming skills I would write a routine to this automatically. *Incidentally what a superb site. -- Regards Richard
