Saving an image from internet to your collections
-
Please HELP. From Pinterest I saved pictures by opening into another window and then copying the image address and pasting that into ADD ITEMS here in Urstyle. This doesn't work anymore. When opening the picture in another window I do not get an option copying the image address. I can however copy the image address from the small picture saved in my Pinterest collection. But the size is invalid for Urstyle.
What can I do? I am using safari on Mac OS High Sierra.
Can anyone please help? -
@carloadofdogs ...Pinterest has been making changes without notifying its users of course so annoying. I recognised this the other day. Simply download the image to your computer and it will appear in your downloads.
Next step open with the image with the program you are using, I use google chrome. Now you can clip this the image into your Urstyle. Hope this works for you a little longer to do but then do not forget to delete your downloaded image from your files or you will have heaps of images in there unless you wish to transfer them to your picture files of course... All the best let me know how you go sweetie ~Hugs Michele xoxo -
Thank you Michelle. I've just downloaded the clipper tool in my safari browser. I follow instructions for transferring images from Pinterest through the clipper tool to Urstyle, so far it hasn't worked yet, although I prob should give it some time. The instructions say I can safely close the clipper tool after I've clicked SAVE. Let's hope it works.
I don't think I can upload a picture from my computer to Urstyle, but I can give it a go.
Thanks for your help. I will let you know if succeeded. Have a nice weekend. -
So far the clipper didn't transfer the image to Urstyle. I cannot copy or grab pics from Pinterest to my computer at all. So that option is out.
-
@jewelsinthecrown Well, surprise, surprise. I've managed to upload images which I had saved from Pinterest on my ipad and so from ipad to Urstyle. So you can still download pics from Pinterest but not on computer with Mac OS High Sierra.

@carloadofdogs ...I have windows and I cannot save any images to my computer and I found Urstyle did not save images from Pinterest to my Urstyle items either. I imagine it is a security update for the site.
So as I said If you see the image you like there on pinterst then go to the 3 small dots to the top right on the pinterest pin. click on this and it will download to your download section of your computer, from this open it in safari, and clip into Urstyle via the clipper my suggestion, hope this works or you may have to actually go to the original place pin was pinned from to clip. I will check back tomorrow.. as for me nighty nigh and all the best sweetie. xoxo -
@carloadofdogs ...I just checked my idea that did not work either ...But I will work on it okay

@carloadofdogs @jewelsinthecrown ~ I have windows with google browser. I went to Pinterest and and found a picture. I will add link below. I took the large picture and right clicked and saved the picture in new window. You then use the clipper and it will save it to your items. There is another way also if that will not work. Give it time to upload. Here is the photo: https://urstyle.com/shop/17473947
Let me know. Of course with Mac, I do not know, as I am a windows gal. However, the clipper does work with Mac.
-
@carloadofdogs I am able to clip from Pinterest using clipper, laptop, windows, firefox. I right click to open the image in seperate tab then clipped. It loaded to my item organizer right a way. I'm not sure what is happening with MAC...sorry. Hope clipper starts working for you soon.
-
@carloadofdogs & @Beverly My computer is not allowing me or Pinterest is not allowing me to right click to save or open the picture in a new window... you tell me you can still do that with your computer then I need to check my own computer perhaps if it is not Pinterest.

@jewelsinthecrown Thank you for all your help. So far I've been able to save images from Pinterest on my ipad, works fine. Then upload them from ipad to Urstyle. But actually working making a set is not satisfying on the ipad, because it doesn't give you all the options. So for the moment I shall use two devices to create sets until I find better ways. I can use the clipper to upload : from disc from my Mac, but since I cannot get the pics from Pinterest on my Mac this is a dead end. Lol. I will work my way around the problem and meanwhile try things out. Thanks again.

@beverly Yes, certainly it works with Mac, but there seems to be a conflict with Pinterest and Mac. I will try out some other venues.
-
@jewelsinthecrown Yes, I can do that, but the option to save image address is not there after opening in another window. That option is available when clicking on the picture before openening in another window, but they are far too small. I've uploaded some to Urstyle like that, but they are invalid sizing, like 200x300 pix. I understand that wld create a problem when enlarging. Now why did Pinterest change their options?
On my ipad I can easily click on the pic and save the image on my ipad gallery, no probs. It's all in dialogue compatability. Thanks for thinking along with me, you've been a great help. -
@jewelsinthecrown I just did it! There are indeed 3 dots next to the image on Pinterest, so when clicking there I get the option to download the image in my downloads file. This all done on my Mac as well. A bit a round-a-bout way, but I can then upload via the clipper to Urstyle. I still wld like the clipper to work properly straight from Pinterest to Urstyle though. I will not give up.

@carloadofdogs I have noticed that the Pinterest page is working back as usual, it may have had some technical difficulties as well... I have clipped some items to Urstyle some have worked while others haven't. I wonder if there is actually something wrong with the clipper now... so can @admin please advise if this is so.?
