Helpful hints

Too busy to talk much right now (work, study, collaboration - you know the drill), but here are a few random helpful hints about viewing and saving interesting pictures:

1. Sometimes Christine Kessler tempts you on her blog by showing you a smaller-sized version (not, apparently, clickable) of one pic that's part of a set from her pay site. However, if you right-click and choose "view image," you can sometimes see a much larger version of that picture.

2. Sites that use Shockwave/Flash to display pictures can make it harder to save them, but I've found three ways around this problem, most obvious (and sometimes least effective) first:
a) Hit the "print screen" button, then paste into a program that lets you edit photos. This doesn't always work well because the picture might be resized for display, causing you to lose resolution; or it might be too large to fit your screen.
b) Hit the "tab" button. Sometimes the status bar will display the URL of the original picture, which you can copy into a new window for viewing and saving.
c) Wade through the code in the document source to find the original URL of the image.

3. High Gloss Dolls adjusts the size of its images according to your screen resolution. If you want to save a larger version of a pic than what you see onscreen, temporarily change your resolution to something larger and/or right click and zoom in.

4. If hiding your stash of kinky photos is an issue for you, I highly recommend TrueCrypt. It's the only freeware program I've found that doesn't put a size limit on your hidden/encrypted folders; and although it's not intuitive enough for you to figure out without reading the directions, once you get the hang of it, it's fast, well-behaved, and doesn't cause any conflicts with other programs.
