ok this is getting really annoying now

every time i want to copy an image, i right-click and there is no copy image, only copy image location

so what i end up doing is saving the image to my hard drive and copying it like that

what am i doing wrong???? why cant i just copy the image straight from the website????????

Maybe I should have asked this first: What browser are you using?? From that list, it sounds like you are using FireFox or some other browser. Maybe that browser doesn't have the option to copy the image??

How about just dragging it? Hold down your mouse on the keyboard and then drag it where you want it.

He's not wanting to save the image to his computer (he already said that!), he's wanting to copy it to the clipboard. The screenshot I provided shows that option in the context menu of Safari, I'm not sure why he isn't seeing it (maybe different version of Safari?).
