How to get a full res image from an amazon zoom window
with a bit of googling, firebug work and reading some other posts this is what ive figured
one of the parts of the big image u mentioned is
http://z2-ec2.images-amazon.com/R/1/a=0714859583+d=_SCR(2,3,3)_+o=01+s=RMTILE+va=MAIN+ve=196021930+e=.jpg
and the original big image is
http://z2-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/0714859583.01._SX_SCRMZZZZZZZ_V196021930_.jpg
so to follow this to find out for all images the algorithm u have to follow is
- first part - http://z2-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/
- then the part following a=
- delete everything following d=
- followed by '.' then value following o= then '.'
- followed by _SX_SCRMZZZZZZZ_V
- followed by the part following ve= followed by _.jpg
does that make any sense???
Took me an hour of tinkering till I found an easy solution:
- Go to the Amazon page of the item you want an image for.
- Press ctrl U
- Press ctrl F
- Search "hiRes"
- Copy and paste the links that come up next to "hiRes": until you find the image you're looking for. It should only take a few attempts to find the image you want.
- On this new page, right click on the image and click "Save Image As". The pic is now yours!
Example:
- Amazon item page: http://www.amazon.com/Carhartt-Thermal-Active-Jacket-J131/dp/B002G9U8A0/ref=cts_ap_1_fbt
- Pressed ctrl U
- Pressed ctrl F
- Searched "hiRes"
- The third "hiRes" down, I found a link like this: "hiRes":"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81OjsM9ITDL.UL1500.jpg". Copied and pasted the link into my browser (sans quotation marks).
- Saved image onto my computer!
