Adjust-clicking over the save icon or Shift-F3 or even Select-clicking
the packet icon if ButtonBar is loaded enables me to do a full-save on
a selected image resolution on a site like
http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper* and then dragging to a filer
window. The full-saved file can then be opened, the relevant jpeg
identified, selected and dragged to a filer window. The unwanted html
gifs and css can then be binned. If many images are needed it becomes
quite time consuming - Is there a simpler way?
If I had the programming skills I would write a routine to this
automatically.
*Incidentally what a superb site.

Yes. navigate to the page which contains the image you want and <Ctrl>
drag it from the page to the filer.
A slightly more long-winded way is to click menu over the image on the
page then follow Object > Object > Save > and save it!

Someone already has!

Indeed. Setting up Organizer to open APOD is great too:
Create a task alarm with
URIdispatch http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/
in the Message section.

So it does - this is brilliant :-))

I'll investigate - thanks again for your quick response Tim.

Ctrl+Select dragging saves it in original format (JPEG in this case).
Ctrl+Adjust dragging automatically converts it to Sprite format, which may
be more use if you're using the image as a backdrop (since sprites redraw
faster).

Thanks for that additional info. I didn't realise there was a
difference between JPEG/Sprite loading speed - I will look into this
as I'm using these images exactly as you said for a backdrop generator
program, the very sophisticated but excellent BDRand by Nick Roberts.
