This seems a bit unfair but I have switched my answer to one that has just been posted that shows how to do it now. Your answer is well deserving of the +1s though.. As for the <img> tag in elements, how does one find them quickly and see the images? I did ctrl-f <img> and it highlighted them but didn't scroll the main page to show them and I can't see previews | |
| Jun 8, 2012 at 16:15 | comment | added | barlop | your answer's great. But as to the alternative, of going to the HTML and finding the img tag, that's inefficient. there may be many image links and it's not quick to go through them manually. like copying each link and pasting it into a tab. infact my original question pre it was edited, asked for a -good way-.(of course e.g. not one that'd take ages). You provided a good way, and it's a very cool way too! | |

Oh hello. Yeah, I see it now. Alternative answer: If you know HTML and know how to use the "Elements" tab in Developer Tools, you may be able to find the <img> tag that contains the image that you want.

@Deltik Look closer! Below the <div> that contains the <img>, there is another <div style="height:498px;width:498px;">. If you delete this element, you can save/copy the image as usual. But I agree, the Network tab will always show all images.

True, but in this site's case, I checked the source code, and the image isn't under a transparent <div> at its expected location, so I think it has to be some JavaScript.

It could also be CSS: a floating, transparent div element could be between your mouse and the image.
