Technical Question

[mojomott]

I apologize in advance if this is not the place to ask this question, but I wasn't sure where else to pose the question. I am wondering if anyone knows how to save pics from the redesigned Free People website? In the past you could right click and there was an option to save the photo (Save Picture As....) When you go to the site now (link included), and place the cursor over the picture, it basically zooms the shot in a space to the right of the original. Is there a way to capture the image and save it either as the small image or even better if there is a way to capture the enlarged image? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

1. Check if there are thumbnails below.

2. if so, use "Copy image location" (or similar) from the context menu.

3. You should have "http://images.freepeople.com/is/image/FreePeople/17056185_040_a?$detail-alt$" on the clipboard (at least in your example).

4. Paste the URL to a text editor (or the "Location" line of your web browser).

5. Replace "$detail-alt$" by "$zoom-super$"

6. You should have "http://images.freepeople.com/is/image/FreePeople/17056185_040_a?$zoom-super$"

7. Load this URL.

If you have no thumbnails available, it'll get rough. Make sure your browser cache is empty! Use a tool like "Live HTTP headers" (Firefox plug-in) or Wireshark to find out what is actually loaded. The "...$detail-item$" URL is the one of the left picture (the one with the mouse-over zoom). You can just as well replace "$detail-item$" by "$zoom-super$" and continue at #6.

Note: Some extremely sick governments consider Wireshark an illegal tool. Take care not to violate any laws applying to you. Also it may be too powerful for an inexperienced user -- you are better off with Firefox and Live HTTP headers.

Hello.

Your post probably probably fits better in the "Computers, Internet, and Games" forum.

I think the steps outlined above should work.

Also, if you were using Firefox, you could go

Tools > Page Info > Media

and then scroll through the list of everything that's been loaded. You will probably find the picture you want in that list, and with a "Save As" option. You might have to click to load the larger size. I actually have javascript disabled, so I don't get the behavior you describe.
