Post by: saddler14 on May 11, 2011, 09:00:51 AM

Hi. I'm new to this so forgive me if this has been asked before, but if I want to copy pictures from a web page I click on the thumbnail, get an enlarged image, and save it to disc. If there are say 50 thumbnails on one page all of which I want to save (the enlarged image, not the thumbnail) I have to go through this process 50 times.
Is there a piece of software out there that will do this automatically for me?
Thanks for any help.

Are you copying all those pictures without permission from the publisher/website?  Content on websites falls under copyright law.  Most websites will post a copyright notice at the bottom of their pages.  But, that's not legally required for protection under copyright law in the U.S.

No. Pictures of racing cars made available for public viewing/copying by amateur photographers

To my knowledge, there is no piece of software out here to do specifically what you're looking for.

Yeah, I was going to post the same comment in my own words.  I agree, quaxo.
