@mikegifford Hi Mike I'm having trouble downloading your photo onto my computer. I went to your album posting, sizes - view all, this is where I get stuck,
Which one is the original size the Large?
Then to download I highlighted the info in the box, copied it and tried to paste it on my computer but it doesn't work!
Sorry I've tried this several times, there must be a step I'm missing.

Can't wait to give this a go

@radiogirl copy and paste the entire URL to a browser address. Hit return key and the full image will appear in the browser window. You can then right-mouse click and save on your local computer. Hope this helps!
