**See stampe's reply below, for an easier alternative to this method**

For many now, you cannot easily save images from IMDB galleries. However, there is a fairly straightforward workaround for this.

I have made this using Chrome, but the method in other browsers is basically the same.

So I want to download this image for Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but right click no longer gives me an option to save the image due to the new media browser IMDB is using. So instead:

Right click and select View Page Source

Now search for 'jpg' (Ctrl+F) and copy and paste the first url you come to
[attachment=44649:url.jpg]

You will now be able to save the image, but the size will be compressed (if it is a large image). So now go to your URL and delete the last part of the URL between @ and .jpg
[attachment=44650:newURL.jpg]

If the original image is larger than the preview, the full sized image will load and you will be able to right click and save the image

There is an even simpler way :)

1. Right click on any thumbnail on imdb -> view image.

2. Delete the part of the URL between V1 and .jpg

Done :D

try it e.g. with this:

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5 ... 00_AL_.jpg

Cool, thanks to each of you. That will be a big help. I was taking screen shots of the images. This is far superior.
