In IE I would right click the picture and a drop down menu would give me the option to copy. I would then right click paste in a forum post and the URL would appear. In edge this technique does not produce the URL. When I right click on the photo the drop down menu only shows :
Ask Cortina About This Picture
Save Picture As
Share Picture
Select All
Copy
…...Any help appreciated !

Hello,
As you mentioned the copy option is there but not working.
Try re-registering Microsoft Edge. Perform these steps:
1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.
2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
3. Then type following command and press Enter key:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
Let the command complete.
4. Close Windows PowerShell and check Edge, it should work fine now.
Hope this helps!

I have noticed that right clicking a picture in Edge produces completely different menus depending on the website and the way in which the picture is used. For example:
In the example above I can copy and then paste an image.
In the example below there is only a non-picture specific menu (Copy link copies the URL for an article associated with the picture).
I assume this depends on the copy protection measures implemented by the second website.
If I use an image with an associated link from the first website there is yet another right click menu:
In this case I can copy the image (with Copy) or the associated link (with Copy link) but not a URL for the picture.
Note that all my examples are different from the menu the OP listed!
