UPD: This trick works with the current Pages 8.1 — and with most other Mac applications, Numbers, Keynote, TextEdit, Stickies, Notes etc. (August 2019)
This post is to draw attention of Pages users to a simple trick with downloading images from the Internet: click on an image in your browser, hold and drag it straight into an open Pages document.
When 'caught' the image will 'lift off' the web page and show a white + sign in green circle and a black arrow.
Drag and hover over the Pages document and let got. The image will land into the document.
I wrote about this trick in a 2011post and it still works in the current Pages 6.3 version. It saves time and space on your hard disc. You don't need to store all images in Photos (library), they just as well sit comfortably in Pages, and can be extracted easily when needed as a separate graphic file.
Remember to check the copyright status of the image.
note technique pour des lecteurs français: drag and drop est glisser-déposer.
