Saving photos????

3 years ago

Is there a way to save a photo I see here to my computer without it just saving as the html link? I would like to save as a jpg file but can't figure out how. Thanks!

You can take a screen shot and save it?

Syncing doesn't mean charging. You need to open up itunes and sync - this backs everything up. As for saving photos, it's easy. Just hook your phone up to your computer. No need to load itunes. Your camera will show up under "my computer" as a device like anything else connected to your computer. Open it up, open the folders (there will probably be several of them) and choose the photos you want to copy to your computer. Select them and drag them to a new folder on your computer. They will remain on your phone! It's impossible to delete them this way, so once you have them copied to your computer you can delete them from your phone if you want to free up some space for more pics.

I am tossing awful photos, unwanted photos and photos of people we don't even know as I go along. Some of them aren't as damaged, as much as they are just dark and need the lighting/contrast adjusted. Husband doesn't use a computer, nor do some of the people I want to share the hard copies with. I've got loads of pictures of our group of "besties" hanging out BC (before children) and afterward, as their children were growing up. They are all grandparents now and I think they would be tickled to share the photos of "mommy/daddy when she/he was your age" with their grandkids. A lot of them aren't on the computer. I'll send them copies and keep mine on a disc. Husband loves going through the old albums, especially family hunting and camping trips with his (now deceased) father, some of the trips we have taken over the years, family weddings and get-togethers. I want to put those photos back in albums for him. I think I will scan the photos and have a professional print the ones I want hard copies of.

The easiest and fastest way to handle tons of photos is to purchase a large portable hard drive. One terabyte should do the job - depending on how many photos there are and the resolution they were shot at. I have two smaller portable drives full of images but retrieving a particular image is pretty timely. If some were shot in RAW then they will be huge files. I personally stopped shooting in RAW because each image would start out at 40 - 60 MGs or so. I am a professional photographer and unless the image is going to be printed in a book or made into a wall sized photo, a good quality JPG is satisfactory for my uses. I have never had a problem with the JPG files being acceptable with any of the many photos that have been published in books or used for lectures or websites. Sorting photos is a very tedious job. Many of my old photos are on DVD's. I use a Sharpie to put the names of the files with a date and short description and have them in DVD binders. Really fast to flip through the binder to find what I am looking for. I have more than 10,000 digital images over 12 years or so. Some day I will delete the duplicates, out of focus and just bad shots! lol But not tomorrow. lol

I find it easiest to take screenshots when using the Firefox browser.

Are you unable to right click on a photo and select "save as"? That is the procedure on a PC.

If you are using an Apple computer, I cannot help you, but you can always use the Computer Help forum here.

Thanks for responses. I am on a PC and normally I do save things that way ( Save As) but I can't do it on the Houzz website. Maybe I have some internal settings blocking it here.

who knows. I do screenshot things but the quality isn't as good. This PC is getting OLD, time for upgrade sometime soon.

Houzz has recently blocked the right click save as feature of windows. So now I use the 'snip' app on windows. You can highlight the photo and do a save as.

I had no idea that there was a "snipping tool" in Windows! Thanks.

Though I can right click and save photos here - I use the gardenweb URL.

I just tried it using the Houzz URL and I couldn't right click and save a photo.

I'm on a Mac and I just click and drag most images to my desktop. They're always .jpg files.

It doesn't work if the image is an ad, tho.

Try using www.gardenweb.com instead of the Houzz portal. I never visit Houzz.com unless I am going to the Poll forum, where I cannot vote from gardenweb.

I always entered this site through gardenweb. I got a new computer and I try every which way, but it always defaults to houzz.

czarinalex - I have a similar problem. I can access the Kitchen Table under GardenWeb on my Mac. However if I switch to Home Decor conversations it automatically goes to Houzz. If I use my iPad or iPhone I can only access this site through Houzz and I can't log in to comment. It's nuts.

My browser often defaults to houzz as well, so I highlight the word 'houzz' in the URL and replace it with 'gardenweb' and reload/refresh the page.

I don't like that I can't 'like' an original topic in the houzz mode, among other things.

P.S. patI8, have you tried clicking and dragging images to your desktop yet?

Yes-I can click and drag to desktop now. Thanks! Would like to be able to Save As but that does not work for whatever reason.

The "Save As" function will not work if you are in the Houzz portal. If you switch to gardenweb in place of Houzz, the "save as" function should work.
