Direct Image Link
Definition
The definition of a direct link to an image is a link that, when clicked, leads to a page with nothing on it but the image itself.
Example
If you click on the following, you get a page that only has the image on it. http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4337/artofproblemsolvinglogo.jpg
How to Locate a Direct Link
If you are browsing the web, and see an image you want to know the direct link to, right mouse click and then:
Firefox
Select "View Image Info". You get a little window. Find the "Location", and that's your direct link.
Chrome
Select "Inspect Element". You get a little frame at the bottom that says
<img style="-webkit-user-select: none" src="http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4337/artofproblemsolvinglogo.jpg">. Where it says "src="http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4337/artofproblemsolvinglogo.jpg"", the link in there is the direct link.
Alternative:
Select "Copy Image URL" and you will have the direct link in your Paste.
