Hello...

If you click the thumbnail, the picture opens as a larger image on another
page. Right click that image (if you're now using a PC) and then select
"save as" ... the picture will show in the browser (operating on a PC) as
(for instance) 1-26.jpe which my graphics program reads as a .jpg file.

Hope this helps ...
