Photoshop Friday!

This is a trick I use to get pictures off websites that have the "right click & save as" option disabled. For instance, lets say you take a trip to The Happiest Place on Earth... They have photographers everywhere snaping photos of everyone who is willing. The pictures are available for you to view but thats about it. If you want them you have to buy each for a crazy dollar amount. Want to just save the picture to your computer? Easy!

This is how I do it.....
I start by saving the website screen making sure the picture I want is in perfect view. To save, hold down the shift key and press the PrintScreen button on the keyboard (usually in the top right somewhere)
Then, open photoshop and click the New File tab on the top left. It should look like just a white piece of paper. The specs that come up should be fine so just click ok. Now go to the EDIT tab on the top left toolbar, scroll down and click paste!
You should now see your web page! Most times you will need to magnify the image before you crop out the picture but other than that, once you crop and save you are done! I admit...sometimes the quality isnt that great because the file size isnt large enough but hey, at least you dont have to pay an arm and a leg for a memory!
