Actually, screen capture's not necessary.

In *any* browser on OS X, including IE (I just tested it), you can
click-and hold on a picture in a web page and drag it out of the
program onto the desktop, or into a folder on the desktop. That way
you get the actual image, since web pages can display an image at a
percentage of it's original size.

Absolutely correct. But don't forget that there are a lot of ways to prevent this. I know several web-designers using these possibilities to prevent
"stealing" their pictures. The most common I know is: When you do a
click-and hold on a picture in a web page, the picture will
pfloeep..disappear and return after leaving the mouse-button. In that case
any screen capture will be the last left poss., I believe.

Interesting, I've not seen this behavior before. Could you point me to one? I'd like to see the technique, if nothing else.

In that case I'd right-click on the image and select "View Image", failing that look at the page source and ferret it out manually.
