Many other methods would probably be easier, but they won't always work for all sites, and they may stop working when the site is redesigned. To download any protected file on any site, even ones that disable the right click, you can hit F12 in Chrome, then either:
1. Ctrl-F to search for the image URLs in the "Elements" tab. For example, Flickr image URLs always seem to include "farm" in them. When you find a URL, copy and paste it into a new tab. Or "Open link in new tab" if that option is available (which it isn't in the "protected" images in Flickr's current design)
or
2. go to the Network tab, enable it, click the "Img" tab at the top, and reload the page. It will show you a list of all the images loaded on that page. You can right click on the image file name, and choose "Open link in new tab".
Either way, once you have the image open in a new tab, you can save it to your computer like you can on any other page.

It's slow and maybe not a lot of fun for nontechnical people, but I can't think of any time it hasn't worked for me, even with Flash photo albums.

Please can you advise on this again, I am using a mac so F12 just put the volume up lol.

Thanks.

I don't know the equivalent of the F12 command on a Mac, but you can right click anywhere on the page, and select "Inspect Element" in Chrome, and that will also pop open the Development Tools window. The downside is that you can't use this method on a page that has right click disabled.

For Flickr specifically, your best bet is probably what Fango said, or maybe some other extension, but, like I said before, I don't have to wonder whether my method is going to work or if a redesign broke it, etc. But even when you're pretty good with the Dev Tools, it's still a lot slower than other methods. It's sort of like walking vs driving a car: traveling on foot can get you anywhere that driving a car can, plus you can jump over fences, climb mountains, walk across streams. It just takes 20x as long if you have a long way to go, and it can be a huge pain in the ass. So I recommend it mostly if you just want to grab one or two, or if nothing else works.

What a great find, thank you Crispus. And of course, especially Tinkerjones- a 12 Megapixel camera in 2010, you sir are the real deal!

I hope you won't mind that I've posted a few below to underline what a great eye you have. The last four are 2010 but I've included them here in the set to highlight a degree of intimacy that is very rarely seen in WNBR photos. Thanking you and yes, please please do post your 2012 photos!
