As opposed to one shoosh with the mouse for pics that aren't disabled.

Here's an EASY way to grab pics on a Mac, at least with the latest OSX Snow Leopard operating system.
First be SURE you have the Preview program in your dock. If you don't, go to your Applications folder, find the Preview icon, and drag it down to the dock.
Second, open the page (using Safari, Firefox, or whatever else) that has the image you want to capture.
Third, click on the Preview icon in your dock. The webpage and image won't move an iota, but you now have Preview open. Open the File menu, go down to Take Screen Shot and click on From Selection. You will see an on-screen instruction: "Drag the crosshair over the area you want to capture."
Finally, using the crosshair, cover the image (it will appear to have a grey film over it). Release the crosshair, and---instantly---a copy will open as a PNG file which you can save---it gives you the option of saving as a JPEG.
Best yet, the above instructions sound a LOT more complicated than it really is!
