I think we agree its just that I don't use Pintrest to save a reference library for each project (my projects are very specific) so it would cost me time to do so.

Saving images to Pinterest is as simple as pointing and clicking. That's how you create your reference library. Mood boards are completely different. They're not a reference library they're specific to a particular project you're working on.

Why save them to Pinterest at all... when using google just right click open image in new tab- copy to PureRef. Saves time and you can save your PureRef files for later use. Now Pinterest is good if you want to share your files or collaborate on a project.

That's a great tip!

Hi Chipp. Nice hack. Playing with your idea and Pinterest I noticed that I get the full size image by dragging the smaller images. The ones below the "More like this" directly to PureRef.

Nice, perhaps someone could come up with an extension to add another item to the right click contextual menu to open original in new tab that would just replace the resolution with "originals" and even copy the image to the clipboard in one operation, or just copy the image from the originals address without opening a new tab if possible.
