Why?
...and what sites similar to Flickr are you talking about?

Pinterest, Internet images, but mainly Flickr.
EG this one on Titanic relics
https://www.flickr.com/photos/rollei...57600088149011
The Old Girl has been raked over rather well!

Are these your Flickr& similar accounts?
If they belong to someone else downloading might be blocked.

We'll see. Time will tell.
I wonder what this means: "The owner has disabled downloading of their
photos�... Did you miss that?

It means the owner is clueless about information technology.

For that Flickr site, I see the following:
"The owner has disabled downloading of their photos."

You were correct, I checked and we see that the site owner (obviously not you) did block downloads.
"The owner has disabled downloading of their photos.�


However printing the image to PDF and then converting this PDF image
to JPEG (or TIFF) gets results.

This sounds like an awkward kludge, which guarantees nothing but mediocre results.

Is this final image the same quality as the Flickr one, and if not how
can this quality be improved?

What OS are you using?

Windows10 & Chrome and Edge.

OK.

He ignored that.

We all know that you suffer from media kleptomania.

Is it because of file size restrictions? If so, resave with higher
compression.
