peter k Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 <p>Hi all, running Win7 Home and Firefox I am unable to save as or any other save of the image. So I am unable to participate in the post processing challenge. Any help would be appreciated. Firefox says " failed".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 <p>You don't save images in Firefox in a browser. You save them on a storage device somewhere and then open them in Firefox. However, once you save them in a folder, there is no need to open them in a browser as you can just upload the file from wherever you have saved it.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter k Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 <p>Hi Jeff, I was not clear enough in my post. I need to somehow get the image so I can work on it. Then post it on the forum after I am done.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 <p>You should be able to right click and download the image, is that not working?</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter k Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 <p>Hi Jeff thank you for your help, no that is not working. I right click and select save image as but it fails. E-Mail image to myself works. So I guess that is the way to do it.<br> Regards Peter</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If you're talking about downloading from photo.net, Flickr, etc., some photos may have right-click disabled. You can enable right clicking on your own photos. And there are ways to bypass right-click disabling. For example, inspect the page, identify the photo URL, and download it. If these are other member's photos, it's safest to assume they don't welcome downloads or modifying their photos as part of the critique process, even though all members agree to this as part of the site terms of use.

Spearhead Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 <p>Lex, it's the image in <a href="/digital-darkroom-forum/00dGst">this thread</a>. It should be downloadable, I can download it in Chrome.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I can download the images in Firefox too, so it's probably not a browser specific problem. The error may be produced by the OS having problems writing the image to the selected location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 You might have some script blocking utility running that could interfere with accessing some photo.net content and navigation. There are also anti-malware protections that may hinder downloading files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter k Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 <p>Hi Lex, thank you for the reply. It was /is Malwarebytes Pro that stopped the Image download. Once I disabled it all was OK and working as others have said.</p> <p>Regards Peter </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
