Is there a shortcut to "Save Picture as" instead of Right Clicking on the mouse?

Ok, I agree a left button drag to a desktop icon is quicker that a right click, (providing a file doesn't already exist with the same name), but why do you want to save these fleeting seconds? Hell, you have been surfing the net for hours... what is another couple of seconds?

He may have been joking, but he has a point. Following that math, if you saved 20 pics per day using this faster method(and it seems like hi! saves a lot of pictures), that would be an hour every year. After 6 years, thats 6 hours saved, and so on untill after 24 years and a collection of 175,320 pictures, you have saved an entire day of your life.

If this thread keeps going on, just reading it will waste longer time than you could have ever saved by just right clicking and hitting save as.

And with that, I give you the fastest method:

Get somebody else to do it for you.

Using the IMG tag in the QuickReply box would have been quicker!

To all you Teasers out there, you are surely missing the point. what about all the other Short cuts out there.. do you shake your head at why those even exist.. First of all it's not just a simple "Right Click" on the mouse.. You have to Right Click it and then Scroll Down and Choose the Save Picture as.. Three Steps.. a hassel if you have like 25 pictures you want to save.....


for example of other shortcuts i like Which save on the Mouse Right Clicking.. I love the Highlight and Control C or Control V, much better than using the Right click of a mouse to Copy and Paste.. isn't that the same as me asking for a shortcut to save pics?


I also love using Control N on a page to open up a new page instead of Clicking on IE icon on the bottom of my task bar and waiting for it to load.. Aslo using Alt D to go quickly on the address bar instead of dragging the pointer up there... convience and avoiding the hassel of it all.. and not really a time factor thing you guys are implying..


But thank you everyone who offered advice!!i i will try it!! And what i was trying to achieve was when i have a picture of what i want in front of me.. was there a shortcut on the keyboard to bring up the Save Picture Window in front of me instead of Right Clicking the mouse all the time....

Well I have to admit, I never really thought of moving the mouse around on the screen as "work", but if all of these pictures are on the same page then why not just just choose File>Save As... and save the whole page?

hi!,
you still miss the point that this will not help you when you come to a pic that has the same name as one you already have.

You can't have two pictures on the same page unless they are the same picture, so that's mute point
