Press on image. Select copy.

Open a new tab in Safari or go to a text program.

Paste and voila, you see the path for the image. Copy that text and paste it anywhere.

Dunno why you have to paste it somewhere first, but you do.

You can't copy an image's address and paste it straight into a post on DU.

Yahoooooo! Stinky The Clown Jul 2012 #15

The need to paste someplace else first is kind stupid, huh? Stinky The Clown Jul 2012 #16

It's fixed NOW on iPad as I've demonstrated ... at least "open in new tab" works just fine REP Jul 2012 #18

Long touch to get that dialog in my screenshot REP Jul 2012 #14
