How to capture image info when it's mouse over

The "correct" way is to link to the page the image is on. That way, you are not "stealing" the image for your own use, you are just telling folks where they can go look at it.

(that's my photography enthusiast copyright infringement is stealing response).

Sometimes, if you left click on the image, it will bring up the actual image in a new window and then you can right click to get the image link.

Later versions of Windows will need to try this. It still works at least up through XP.

Mouse over, hit the "Print Screen" key. Open "Paint". Then "Paste" (cntl-v) or the command. Save as a .jpg.

This will capture the entire webpage you are looking at. I do this when I want to save a forum post that might inexplicably disappear. Or an generated online receipt. Or to, as I said, capture webpages to illustrate a point.

Then you can save the image to an online photo album, whatever.

Someone with Win 8 and 10 see if this is still available, or if they (Microsoft) continued on with the dumbing down of the operating systems.

x2. You can skip the mouse over. PrntScr captures the screen regardless of mouse position.

I use a free program "Snipping Tool" that lets me pick any area on the screen and save it (GIF for sure, don't know about other formats).

I use this, too. It works great - easier than Print Screen and then editing. You can select only what you intend to snip.

Sometimes if you just double click on image it will open window with image

The Snipping Tool is part of Windows. In Win 7 go to Start > All Programs > Accessories. Or type "Snipping Tool" in the search box.

There are several free capture programs that will do this. I'm using one called Snap My Screen which gives the option of grabbing a screen, a window or a selection. It works fine, but I'm not sure if it's any better than any of the others - it's just the first one I came across when I needed one.

Well I'll be! Thanks.
