Doc Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Apologies for being a bit behind the times, but how do you now insert a large size Alamy image into a post? Right clicking on the preview and clicking on "Insert image from URL" doesn't seem to work anymore? Thanks Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brooks Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have the same problem on a Mac and drag and drop does not work for me Go to the Alamy general website front page. Search for the image by Alamy file name. In the search results Hold down the control key and press down and hold the mouse on the image. You will be given a choice of actions. Choose "copy the image address". On your forum post select insert other media" then “insert image from a URL”. Paste URL that you copied into that box. Image should be intermediate size like one below. For some reason a simple drag and drop does not work for me on my Mac, and I cannot get a bigger image as before..

Allan Bell Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Kumar, open another window by pressing "CMD" + "N". Move the two windows side by side with forum page on one and Alamy home page on other. Put alamy code in search on their home page for image required. Click on image when it comes up and drag to forum page were you want to post. Look at thirteenth post in here.

LarsMadsen Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I was stuck on that as well... I ended up looking in the HTML code, finding the URL for the image. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Thanks all for your advice. Now I am on a Mac, the simple Drag and drop seems to work very well Regards Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am not getting anywhere with this (windows 10) I search the image get the image page that's OK but when I right click or control right click I just get the option to save preview which if I click wants to download to my computer. At no point am I seeing the copy image address option. I have not tried drag and drop because it is counter-intuitive for me and I just will not bother doing things that are drag and drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If you go to the Image Manager and zoom the image you want you can right click and copy image. The results are not the biggest but the big images seem to distort slightly so they aren't as wide as they should be. it is subtle but I notice it and it bothers me.

I have now got the image thing - thank you for your help Note - having noticed that the above image was not watermarked I went back and discovered the issue. When you do the image search you right click on the result image rather than opening the result image and then right-clicking if that makes sense.
