For example, the backgrounds on my site that I created are not to be copied or used elsewhere (a 'do not use' situation)... but the Paris Community Leader WebRing graphic I made is available to be copied and used only for the webring (the 'catch'). Most 'free' graphics sites require that a credit and link back to their page be posted in return for your use of the designs.
After making sure that you have read the page for a "catch" to borrowing the graphic/image, and have followed the directions and respected their wishes, use your right mouse button and click over top of the graphic. Choose "Save image as..." and pick a directory ("Save in:") that will serve as a home to your graphic, until you can upload it to the GeoCities server (or your own server). Once you've done that, check that there is a name for the image in the field "File name:" . If there isn't, make up a short name that describes and identifies the image, and press the "save" button.
How to Save a graphic on a MacSaving on a Mac...
by John (CPCL), 7/14/97To save something from the net all you need to do is click on the image and hold. A pull down menu will appear which includes "copy this image" (will copy the image to finder's clipboard) and "save this image as" (which will save the image).
Save images where ever you want: on your hard drive, a floppy disk, or where ever. The "save image as" will provide the same options for placement as any "save as" command on a Mac.
If you still have questions, or are encountering problems, please get in touch with your nearest computer guru, Community Leader, or contact me personally, and I'll see what I can do to help solve your problem. Soon I'll have a page listing a few sites that offer free images for you to use on your homepage, high-quality graphic sites that actually want you to save their stuff and place it on the web.
