I am trying to copy some photos off of this site but can't figure it out(we had professional photos taken and they have web based client proofing...) We are going to buy a picture package with a couple of the poses but would like to have all of the photos on the computer just to have electronically. They appear to be in some kind of flash player and I can't figure out where the photos are stored on the website... any ideas?

I guess I could always print to pdf then export as a jpg but figured the quality might suffer.

linky is here if you want to try and solve the mystery:

On second thought, I think that a pdf->jpg will work fine... I am not looking for high quality photos (since we will purchase those).

If anyone has an idea of how to get them in Jpg format to begin with feel free to let me know, but I think I have it covered.

Thanks.

One way that works is to simply hit the "prtscr" button and then use any image editor to crop the file, then save the file in the format you like. A little more time consuming, but it works!

Good luck \:\)

If you look at the caption on each image, you'll see a IMG_nnnn, make note of that. Then visit this URL:

http://www.picturethemoment.net/janellee/bin/images/large/IMG_7894.jpg

Replace the four digit number with the one from the Flash gallery.

Go with ClubNeon, it's a lot less complicated.

Cool!! \:\)

wow thanks! Yeah, I saw the img_number but couldn't figure out the base directory that they were located.... how did you determine that?

He's a url savant.

I cleared my browser cache, and then fired up tcpdump telling it to output the ASCII contents of packets going to or arriving from port 80. Then I revisited the site and made note of any GET requests...

...yeah, what Tom said.

How many millions do you have?

Just saw this thread and I know ClubNeon already helped you out, but for future reference here's what I do. (You have a Mac, right?)

Safari has a feature called the Activity Window (accessible from the Window menu) that shows all the files, scripts, images, etc. coming into your browser. It makes grabbing individual files from sites a snap.

I opened the Activity window, then loaded the photo gallery you linked to. Here is what shows up in the Activity window:



You can double-click items in the list to open them in their own windows (from which you can save to disk), or you can hold down option and then double-click items to download directly.

That sounds easy. I have a windows based PC (XP) though.

Using "firebug" extension within firebug allows you to do that. It comes with a ton of stuff for people who develop javascript and HTML, so it has a lot of "extra" stuff.

Also, for your IE users (or firefox too), a program called fiddler that lets you inspect all HTTP traffic coming in and out of your computer.

I need to make the switch to firefox...
