Just curious about something

I was in the gun section of this forum and I found some info for somebody and I decided to try and copy and paste it so it wouldn't loose anything in the translation and it worked. Unless I am doing something wrong, this is my question that I am curious about. If I can copy and past info, why can't I copy and paste a picture?

Thanks

I'm GUESSING because a picture is a different format than words. That sounds like a DUH statement but it's all I have.

I know I'd like to copy and paste pictures too. For me to put pictures in my album, I have to do it on my laptop and go through several stages to get them in there.

I tried to find a picture I couldn't grab....

Right click on the photo, open up 'Irfanview', paste.
Irfanview is a free download, photo viewer with a ton of features.
You can do the same if you have a photo editor, Photoshop, etc.

If that doesn't work for me, I can do a 'print screen', button on top row of keyboard.
Alt PrtScr - and then paste it into Irfanview, crop it down to just the photo.
