This is what happens when I request a link of a photo in my SkyDrive (Sharing > Shared Photo > Get a Link). I cannot post it as an image because it is not a valid URL. What is the work around for getting an image URL from a photo in SkyDrive?

Have you tried getting the embed code?

There is no option to embed the code that I can see.

Did this work?
*edit*

Yes. the only way to properly link just the image file and not reference the SkyDrive folder with the file is to select View Original > Properties > *select image path*
Then you have to remove any and all garbage that's placed after the image extentions (ie .jpg, .png, .gif)

Its not in the sharing part... go to skydrive, click on a pic, in the options on the top you will see "download" "sharing" "EMBED" "manage" etc etc. you click on it and you will get the code.
or right click on a pic and you will see the same stuff, and you will find embed there.

and thats all there is the embed part. you get the link for the pic, and then you can see if that method Works for what you want to do.


Edit: I see you got it working maybe skydrive will fix that and make it simple, they are making alot of improvements lately anyway. but this seems like a low priority thing so it can wait since not many people would actually use it. I was going to suggest the view original thing, since i remember i used it in a Vampirefreaks profile sometime ago, to display some images

I would like my SkyDrive to replace my numerous photo hosting sites. I'm just looking to consolidate my efforts. I want Flickr for my photography and SkyDrive for my goof-off-check-this-out hosting.
