if elsewhere means on DU, it has to have a URL, meaning it lives in the internet CurtEastPoint Nov 26 #3

If you have a Mac, use your Screenshot app.

It’ll screengrab it. Save to photos.
I use this instead of Post Images (which seems to end anything political quickly)

On a desktop you can hit Ctrl Alt Print screen at the same time and paste it into a word doc or onto a website I think. You might be able to right click and copy too.

there is a way.

Most images are just right click save image as.

For those websites that waste yours and their time with trying to block copying an image the old fashioned way use a screen capture.
If the screen capture included extra stuff that is not part of the essential image you wanted just open the screen capture image in a graphic program like Gimp or Photoshop and just use a crop tool to remove the unwanted stuff. Save the result with whatever name you want to use. Viola!
