Downloading from Wikipedia Commons

Postby Prominent Critic » 10 May 2010, 16:07

Any tech people here? I want to download a JPEG image from Wikipedia Commons, but I haven't the remotest idea of what to do. Can anyone give me simple step by step instructions. Thanks.

I assume that there must be no link to the image file. If that is true and you are using Internet Explorer, right-click your mouse pointer on the image, select "Save Picture As ..." from the pop-up menu that displays, select a hard disk folder to save the file in, and then click the "Save" button. The procedure will be similar, but slightly different, if you are using some other web browser. Let me know if you need help using a different web browser.

If there is a link to the image file, lift-click the link, select a hard disk folder to save the file in, and then click the "Save" button.

Thanks Bob -
The "Right click - Save as" worked to perfection.
