Saving Photos from Any Orkut Album

You must have noticed that Orkut disabled Right-Clicking on photos in others albums recently. I guess their motive was to disallow people from saving personal photos from others albums. I feel what they have done now is quite unnecessary, considering the fact that Orkut is already giving every user the option of locking albums and restricting the access to a particular set of friends only.
There will be a lot more people who will upload photos of parties and get together on their Orkut Albums and ask their friends to take a copy from there. But now that they have disabled Right-Clicking, let’s check out what are the other possible ways to save photos from albums:
1)The first method any Internet User will think of is taking screenshots and cropping using simple software like IrfanView. It’s a convenient method if you want to save only a couple of photos.
2)But, if you want to save the photos from an entire album, it’s becomes a tedious job to take screenshots and crop it every single time. The best alternative is to:

  • Click on the Photo.
  • Drag the Photo to the URL of your browser and Drop.
  • Bingo! The link location is displayed and the photo is displayed in full length in the body which Right-Click Enabled!
  • Now, you can Right-Click and click Save Image As” to save it to your drive.

The above option would not work in Orkut latest version. Here is the latest crack (using Opera)

1. Open the album.
2. Select the photo.
3. Right click and use “Inspect Element”.
4. You can see the full path of jpg in the tag.
5. Click to open in a new window.
6. Right click and save the jpg.

You can’t drag and drop photos from the album to the address bar. But (in firefox) you can:

1. Click once inside the photo area you want to save.
1. Right click and select ‘View Selection Source’
3. In the ‘DOM Source of Selection window’ copy the long URL given in the second tag and paste this URL in a new tab/window and hit enter.
4. Bingo! You now have direct access to the pic! Right click and Save, as usual!
