At this step you will learn how to save large images without actually viewing them. Large images (full-size images) are usually located behind thumbnails and you have to click the thumbnail first to view the large image.

Let's save the full-size picture behind the thumbnail below to the right. Place the mouse cursor over the thumbnail, right-click and select Save Large Image.

            

Picture Ace downloads the full-size picture and saves it to the currnet destination folder. Note that it is not recommended to open the destination folder while Picture Ace downloads images (i.e. while the tray icon flashes).

Sometimes there can be a movie behind a thumbnail. In that case you can still use the Save Large Image command to save it.

As a matter of fact applying the Save Large Image command on a link or a thumbnail (this is a link too) has the same effect as the Save Target As... command. Hence, you can use it to download any kind of a linked file.

Sometimes a thumbnail doesn't refer to a large image directly, instead it referes to a web page with a large image. Although the Save Large Image command can handle most of such cases, there are web sites where you can not save a large image by clicking its thumbnail image. In this case, you can use the Save Image & Back command. The command saves the image and navigates the browser back. Click the thumbnail picture below.

As you can see you saved the picture and returned back with one click. But what about sites that open popup windows (new IE windows) when you click a thumbnail? This time we will use the Save Image & Close command. When you use the Save Image & Close command on a popup window, it saves the image and closes the window. Let's try it, click the thumbnail below (a new browser window opens).

Here are some more pictures for you to practice.
