Notes on downloading photographs

I add photos to this site as thumbnails.  This means that you see a tiny version of the real photograph, allowing the web page to download faster.  You can then choose to click on the thumbnail photo to reach the full-sized version.

If you'd like to print out the photos for yourself, I'd suggest you do the following.  You might find it helpful to print this page to guide you through the process if you're unfamiliar with it.

  • Click on the thumbnail to reach the full-sized photograph
  • Right-click on the large photograph, and choose the option Save Picture As.
  • You can then browse to choose the folder you want to store the photo in - perhaps My Pictures, or My Documents.  Just make sure you remember where you've put it!
  • When you've saved the photo, you can come back to it when you're off-line, as it's now stored on your own computer.
  • Open your word processor (e.g. Microsoft Word) and insert the photo into a new document.  In MS Word, this is done by choosing Insert-Picture-From File; browse to the place you stored it in 3 above.  NB: You can also use other software, such as Microsoft Publisher or PowerPoint, if you prefer.
  • Now you can control the size that you print the photograph by clicking on the photo so a border appears around it; then hover the cursor over one of the corners of the photo and drag it in or out to change the size.  Don't make it too much larger than the original, though, or the quality will deteriorate.

Hope this is helpful!
