The ability to right click download from a website is controlled by the code of the webpage, they can disallow it if they want to. Probably done on the Mecum site to prevent scammers from using the photos to sell imaginary cars.

There is always the option of expanding the image to "full screen" then hitting Shift and PryScn keys on your keyboard ... this saves a screen shot image to the clipboard ... should be able to paste it into a image/photo program and crop it down to just the photo.

You can also use a "snipping" program to capture the photo on your screen. If you have a Windows PC, "Snip & Sketch" works well. Download it from the Windows Store if not already installed. Keep the icon in the tray at the bottom and it's a quick way to snag the image. You launch the program, then drag the capture window around the image, and save it or paste it. This saves having to paste the screen capture into another program to crop the image. It also lets you add lines or circles to highlight stuff.

Bring pictures up on your phone browser. Push power on and volume up to snap the screen picture to your phone ( assuming I phone).
Now images are yours.
Good luck

As dataway said and you can download "irfranview" for free to modify resolution, size, and crop. More options also, good free software.

Ok...Thanks for all the input.....Mission accomplished

'nother question......I heard you can get a thumb drive.....that will copy/save only one file of each..

My picture files are a big mess right now...loaded with crap and duplicates.....and I have no idea where it all came from..

Current file content is about 100 gb....which is a bit less than 1/2 capacity.

Not looking for anything fancy....Just best bang...for the buck..
