I like to keep a collection of pics of SP's that I've visited with, to spark memories. Often, I'll be browsing and I'll see that they're posted a new set of pics, and I'll go to download them and add them to the collection.
I often run into two problems... one I have a solution I'd like to share, and the other, I don't, and would appreciate any advice from the technically-minded.
Problem #1 is agency sites that don't allow you to just right-click-save-image-as. Euphoria is an example. While it's possible to circumvent any such system with a screengrab, I prefer to get a higher quality version that hasn't been stretched and resampled by the web page renderer. To get around this, I use "Inspect Elements" in Chrome. Took me a minute to get the hang of it and every site is a little different. Not all sites block this, and some let you just right-click, as is currently the case for Forever. But anyway, you open the "Inspect Elements" pane, click on a pic, then expand the carets until you see a URL with a .jpg in it. You copy that, paste it into another tab, and now you can save. It's tedious but once you get the hang you can do it fast for a bunch of images in sequence. If I were less lazy I'd write a script but...
Problem #2 is harder. It's where you've been looking at an SP for several months, and her photos change, and you wish you could grab the earlier ones, but you didn't because who has time to grab all of the photos from everywhere. Then you visit her and it's awesome and you download the current pics, but you wish you could grab the older ones, because frankly they were doing it more for you. The Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive is a good tool, but it doesn't archive most pictures. Or does it? Is there a way to find older pics that I don't know about?
Posting because I just saw Briana at Euphoria, had an awesome time, and wish I could grab her older pics, as well as the pics from the agencies she was at previously. Have had this happen a few times now.
