    Hi all,

    I am about to get a Mac and do a lot of browsing where the "Right click -> Properties" function for looking at images' properties gets used quite often. I noticed that Safari doesn't have this feature.

    BESDIES other browsers, are there any third party plugins or "Tricks" to get this function to work?

    Let me know if you do not know what I am talking about (lol).

    Sorry, as far as I know you'd have to save a picture and open it in an image editor, could easily be wrong though.

    Sorry, as far as I know, you'd have to drag the picture over to an image editor to find out the specs, or save it and then look at the properties

    Yes, as does Opera and other browsers. I really like Safari though so am looking for something (if there is such a thing) to get it to wokr on Safari.

    Thank you for the responses.

    I don't know what properties you're looking for, but if you do one of the three:
    -right click an image and choose "Open image in new tab"
    -right click an image and choose "Open image in new window"
    -drag an image to the address bar

    it will open the image in safari and show the dimensions in the title of the window.

    Holding down the 'control' button while clicking = right click.
