Saving Photos to Your Computer
Of course, you aren’t the only one sharing photos. Your contact may have added a few of his own to the photos panel, and now you’ve seen a few that you’d like to keep. You can save them to your computer or to your Flickr account if you have one. This task shows you how to save to your computer, and the next task shows you how to save to your Flickr account.
Here’s How
View the photo you want to save in the photos panel on the right side of the conversation window. (Remind me how.)
Near the bottom of the photos panel, click the Save button.
The Save As window opens.
Find the folder in which you want to save the photo, then click the Save button.
Tips:
If the photo has one of those meaningful names, like P1010008.JPG, now is a good time to type an even more meaningful name!
You can save a screen-sized version of the photo (the default) or transfer the photo’s full-size by clicking the appropriate circle in the lower-left side of the Save As window.
What’s Next
You can also save photos by clicking the arrow to the right of the Save button, then select one of the following options:
- Save to My Computer—select this option to save one photo to your computer as described above.
- Save All to My Computer—select this option to save all of the photos in the photo panel to your computer.
- Save to Flickr—select this option to save one photo to your Flickr account.
- Save All to Flickr—select this option to save all of the photos in the photo panel to your Flickr account.
The next task shows you how to save shared photos to your Flickr account.
