Question

If my photos are already in my pictures, can I save them to a blank disk?

Community Answer

Yes, just insert the disc into your PC's player and wait until "External Disc" becomes an option in "This PC." Then either drag the photos from one folder to another or copy and paste by right clicking and pressing copy and then right clicking in the empty disc and clicking paste. Then burn your disc and you are good to go!

Question

I can't seem to save my picture. How do I do it?

Community Answer

Most of the time the key combination Ctrl+S is effective in saving pictures. Otherwise try right-clicking on the picture and selecting "Save as" then give your picture a name.

Question

Will I lose my pictures if I drag them to dropbox?

Community Answer

No, you cannot lose them. Signing out of your dropbox will not delete them either, since the photos are stored on that specific account. Uninstalling won't affect them either, you'd just have to reinstall it and sign in again. If you delete your account by accident, then yes, the pictures stored in your account will be removed, unless you can contact administrators for help.

Question

When I right click to save a picture, there is no Save As in the menu.

Community Answer

Not all sites allow for direct saving of online media, which is a restriction to protect the owner's copyright.
