Two Methods

Two methods you could use;-
[1]
Within the Web Page ''Right click'' on the ''picture'' and from the dropdown menu choose ''Email Picture'' [Look on the Email and the image will be there attached] or ''Save picture as'' [and then you will have to add as an Email attachment]

[2]
(a)
Download ''FastStone Image Viewer'' and the within the program go to = Toolbar = File = Screen Capture = Capture a rectangle region = Save =.

(b)
Then click on toolbar, go to the small yellow ''Email'' envelope and from there just follow the programming to complete to send the Email.

Hope may help!

Colin,

Thanks for the advice. The 1st method didn't work, unfortunately -- neither of those options popped up w/ a right click. Soooo, how do I download this "FastStone Image Viewer"??

Thanks again --
Caroline

Nice info from you. Quick and saves a lot of time.
FastStone Image Viewer is for the PC only?

Longer method: If you are able to view the full image from the website. You can also do a Print screen on the PC and paste into Paint. Save as a jpeg and attach into your email.

Another way with a Mac, OS9: press the Apple key plus shift key and the numeral # 3. That will give to you a screen shot saved to your hard drive.
Open in photoshop and rename the image from a Picture file to what you want to save as.

With the Mac OSX, the same will be saved to your desktop as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file at 70 DPI. You can open the Acrobat file in Photoshop and do a save as, a jpeg or tiff or eps file. Crop what you want.

You can also press the Apple and shift key plus the numeral key #4. Take your mouse with the curser and define the area that you want to capture. That image will be on your desktop as an Acrobat file with OSX. With OS9 it will be in your hard drive as a Picture file.
