Sounds like you are just saving a link to it. If you right click on the
picture and select "Save Picture As..." it should work, it does for me.
BTW. Very cool utility, any chance of giving out the information on what to
supply to you, so new sets can be added to the library. I know for example
that Kevin Hall has a lot of castle torso images that would fit in well with
this.

I'd need GIF images sized to 213x180 pixels with very simple color schemes. For
example, a tie should be all one color, and not the many similar-but-not-exact
colors that a JPG-to-GIF conversion or a scan of a photo would have. If there
are lots of colors, I'd want help identifying items in the image (e.g. tie) by
their entry in the color map, and I could explain that if someone was actually
interested.
Note that if items should be colored independently I'd want them coded as
separate entries in the color table, even if by default they are the same color.
For example, in my image files the background and the shirt colors are
identified separately, even though they are both white by default.
Depending on how much luck people have scaling these to print correctly, I may
need 178x150 pixel images in addition to the 213x180 versions, for those with
printers with resolution multiples of 300 dpi.
