Picture extraction

[lazyitus]

Recently got married and had the wedding photo's back.

They gave us a CD which plays on the PC and is a collection of all the photo's.

I can't intercept the program to save an individual picture (One of my Griffith).

Although I've managed to burn the CD, can I get the pictures individually to save to my 'my pictures' file?

I'm presuming then that you can't see the individual pictures on the CD in windows explorer?

It sounds like they may have embedded them in something like a flash presentation. When you have the CD in and look in windows explorer, what can you see?

I can't even break into the program. Once its running, there is nothing else that I can do. Right clicking only moves it onto the next picture.

turn off autorun for your cd drive

You tried pressing the windows key and E at the same time. That usually gets you out of their prog.

If you want to browse the CD and it has auto run enable you need to expand the CD (press the plus sign) and not click on the CD icon in Explorer, if you click on the cd icon it will start the app again.

don't forget to read the copyright info they supplied with the CD

A last resort a solution that usually works for me when all else has failed is the old Prt Scr button, hitting this when photo is on the screen should copy snapshot of current screen image, then with photo package start a new blank image and hit paste.

Good luck.

p.s size of blank image file should be set to at least that of your screen resolution, I use Fireworks and it picks up that there is something on the clipboard and sets this automatically for you but other packages may not.

Thanks guys, I'll put some of these suggestions to the test tonight.
