Chapter 12. Working with Images
Digital images are ubiquitous — they are available on the
Internet, through email, and even on CD from film developers. These
images are files, and can be manipulated with software available on
your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux
allows you to save, view, edit, and create image files.
12.1. Saving
Images
Images that are not copyrighted can be saved directly from many
web pages. Right click on an image and select either Save Image or Save Image As,
depending on the browser you use to view the web pages. Some web
sites have disabled this function because their images are
copyrighted.
Images in email messages may also be saved on your system. These
images arrive as attachments to the email
message. An attachment is any extra file that is sent together with
an email. Depending on the type of attachment and the email program
you use, the attachment may be displayed as part of the message.
Check the Help contents of the email
program you use to determine how to save attachments to your
computer.
Images you receive on a CD or other removable media device can
be copied and pasted from that medium to a new location on your
system. Refer to Chapter 13 Diskettes
and CD-ROMs for more information on removable media and
Nautilus.
