Wht no ways?

Whatever method they apply, anything which is displayed on the monitor can be copied- one way or the other

D

1 Print Screen SysRq
2 disable java script
3 get the link from source

is it still difficult to obtain images?

Agree. If u hv a digital camera then u can also copy image using it!

tht was not for u... tht was for the one who said 8/10

^^ YOu're right.. Even though the Print screen key exists in all keyboards, most not-so-geek people take the term literally and expect the printer to cough out the screen contents as soon as you press it..

I've seen many such people who curse the makers for wasting a key without assigning any function to it..! Not many know that you have to copy the image in an image editor program and then save it..! So an estimate of 5/10 would know about it is also quite generous, if you include the non-tech general population..!!

They have added an extra layer over the profile pic thats why u can save that layer only and not the actual pic.

Still of no use, cuz geeks can find alternate ways to it (screen capture).

Well it would be applicable for windows users only. In Linux (Fedora Core 6) GNOME has a package for capturing screenshots. We have have to just press the Print Screen button and it appears with a dialog box to save it!

See this screenshot:

ppl knows one ro another way to copy and image

In this regard, i have 1 question.........
If the picture size is bigger than the browser window.......... if we "print screen" the image then the portion of that picture which appeared in the browser we can capture but not the whole picture.......... so is it possible to capture the whole image (bigger size then the browser window)..........??????????

What a

question. Well if the image is bigger than the browser, just switch the browser to fullscreen mode and and tk the scrshot. According to me it should work.

nice move but of no use ...orkut needs moderation (gud one) like we have here ..wiz impossible

well i noticed that in January , i simply checked out the page source n got it .

it was set as a background , that's why it could not be copied , but u can find out it's URL by looking at the HTML .

won't work always , say if you screen resolution is 1024 x 768 n the image size is 1200 x 1600 then it won't fit even in FUlll Screen mode and then you'll either hv to use specialized screen-capture software like snagit or just take more than noe screenshots n then stich the whole image into one

^ then in that case it would be just better to right click and save the image.
