Traditional method, for most photos on the site, hover the cursor over the image, right click, click 'save image as'

This will open to your computer and you can add it to the appropriate folder in Pictures.

 

Easiest is to have your photo folder open in a separate window, and drag and drop the photo from the browser into the desktop/folder!

 

For Facebook:  You can do the traditional method, but to get the original size image, under the image in the Theater view, click 'options' and then choose "Download". 

 

For Instagram:  It takes a bit of effort to do this. 

In your browser go to Tools/Page Info/Media

 

in the view that opens, scroll down until you find the photo (Image) you want which will be highlighted in blue, choose 'save as'
