Capture Images from the Web (in Internet Explorer)
When "borrowing" images from the Web, it is important to adhere
to copyright laws. The best thing to do would be to request
permission to use a graphic, especially if any profit will result
from the use of it.
For more information, see the Copyright: Fair Use Practices for
Students document. This document briefly describes copyright
guidelines and also provides many links to
copyright-friendly Web sites where you can get photos and
music.
Steps to copy an image from the Web:
- Once you have the image on your screen, place your cursor
on it and press the right mouse button (Windows). A sub-menu
will appear on the screen.
- Choose "Save Picture As..." (or a similarly titled option)
from the menu and the "Save Picture" (or similar) window will
pop up.
- Direct the "Save in:" prompt to the drive and folder you
want to save the picture in.
- You can change the "File name:", but you generally don't
want to change the "Save as type:"
- Press "Save" to save the image from the Web to the location
you chose.
- Note: Often Web sites have an "images" folder where you put all your images so that you can find them easily when you need them.
