Chapter 3: Opening and Importing Pictures
Microsoft Digital Image Standard User’s Manual
Opening a Picture from a Web Page
When you surf the Internet, you may come across pictures that you would like
to use in your projects. Unless the Web site uses image protection, you can cap
-
ture these images and use them for your own projects. Keep in mind, though,
that even unprotected pictures may still have a copyright and you should have
the permission of the Web site owner before saving and using pictures you find.
Also, Web pictures are usually low resolution, so they may not be suitable for
printing. But you could still use the images in a project to be viewed online.
To open a photo from a Web page:
1. Make sure that both Digital Image and your Web browser are open
and running on your computer.
A button for each program appears in the taskbar at the edge of
your screen.
2. On the taskbar, click the button for your Web browser program.
3. In your Web browser, locate the Web page that contains the picture
you want.
4. Right-click the picture, and then click Copy.
5. On the taskbar, click the button for Digital Image.
6. On the Digital Image File menu, click New
.
7. Select a canvas size, and then click Done
.
A blank canvas opens in the workspace.
8. On the Digital Image Edit menu, click Paste.
The new picture appears on the canvas.
Once the photo is opened in Digital Image, you can edit it as you would any
other photo and save it to your computer.
