Does flickr not have the option to drag photos onto the desktop or even into iphoto? I'm not a new mac user, I can save pictures from the internet normally, but have never tried it off this website before now. Normally, I just drag to the desktop or iphoto, but when I try this from flickr, it hilights the pic but I cannot move it...like, I can't even drag it off the page. Also, clicking on control to get the menu does not work either, it works with most stuff, but on this particular website (and a few others I have tried), I click on control and the pic and I get the menu to save it all kinds of ways but none of them actually work. I can save the pic to iphoto, the desktop, or wherever, by selecting "save to..".....but then when I try to find it or open it, it's either blank or the pic is just not there. :confused: I figure it's probably the website itself, maybe this option is disabled on the site? Anyone know? Thanks guys!

I have just read the post about trying to save pictures that are links to pictures and not actually pictures themselves...perhaps this is why?

Can you post a link to the site with the picture that you can't download?

Sos, so much confusion! lol


You can:
-Right Click (or Command+click) the image "Save As.." or "Save To Desktop"

or


-Click (and hold), then drag it onto the desktop, into a folder, or iPhoto.


Simple as that.
