When I tried to download it, I couldn't open it either. So I just did a screencap and turned it into a jpeg. Maybe this will help!

If you're using Windows, the easiest way that I know for doing a screen capture is to hit the "Print Screen" key. This should copy the screen's image to your clipboard. Then you can open a photo editing program or a Paint application and paste the screen's image into a new file. Then all you would have to do is crop the image to your own specifications (i.e. just the Magnum photo without the rest of the screen around it).

If that sounds a little complicated, there are also a lot of programs out there (some free, some not) which will allow you to take snapshots of areas of your screen. I just happen to be using Mac OS X and a program called SnapzPro X.

Also, I would be happy to post those other pics from that website the same way I did that one above. Let me know!

what the hell.........i'm so dummy with computer. I tried but i didn really understand where the "print screen key" is. Anyway if you have time and wanna post the other pics on that site it would be great.

thanks

No problem!

Everyone should be sure to thank zeusapollo for discovering these great pictures.















(This one looks like the website cropped it too much--cutting off Selleck's chin)




P.S. I wasn't sure about the rules for posting so many pics. If this causes problems for anyone trying to load the page, please let me know.

Otherwise, enjoy!

Glad I could help.

It's funny, I have that last picture as my desktop, too!

If you want a higher resolution version of that photo, it might look a little better if you're trying to fill the screen.

I've noticed TM wearing these jeans quite frequently and they're just not working for me. In the 80s, I don't remember patch front pocket jeans even being "in".

Does anyone else?

[IKnowWhatYoureThinking]

I don't remember that style either. They look like U.S. Navy dungarees except for the fact that they aren't bell bottoms.

That saves as a .GIF file which is a very common image format and any PC or Mac can open them. However, that site is practicing a bit of "subterfuge" it seems, as the image file that downloads is blank and only 43 bytes in size. IMDb used to do the same thing with its photos section; but now they have simply disabled right-click for that section.

Like others have mentioned, the easiest thing to do in such cases is to just take a screenshot.
