I had already given Jan instructions on..... right click ...save as...... CuriousFish

It really is easy...when you know how,.
Click on the image, and do it again until you get to the 'home pae' of that person, the one with all the details on it, and you should see a heading of 'media gallery'
There should be a small image of the picture you want, click on that, and when it loads you should see on the right where you can 'view the original.
When you click on that it should show you a preview of the image you want. then with your cursor on the image, right click. That gives you several options including copy image and save image as.. Save it to your desktop as a jpeg.
Of course it is polite to ask the tree owner if you can copy it.

If you still cannot copy it personal message me for more help.

I can tell you how to steal pics with a tablet or mobile if you like :-D

MarieCeleste, thank you for replying, but I only speak English....! Seriously, I am a complete computer numpty so this is lost on me, but \I am sure it's a good idea!
Jan :-D

If you're using a laptop/pc with Windows you can always use the snip tool to snatch the image.

Thanks very much for the replies jax, Thelma and Jean.

Jax, I did try clicking on the image, and it doesn't say 'save to my tree'.

However - the problem is solved! I never would have thought this would matter, but noticed that the photo had been taken from another tree (also a contact of mine). I went to that tree, and as you say, there is the option to save looking at me.

Of course I could have saved it, thanks for suggesting that both, but this is so much easier isn't it!

So it seems you can only pinch from the original, or at least that is the case here.

Thanks again everyone.

You can attach easily enough or steal it......so it goes to your computer and can add it where ever....right click.. ..save image as...

Or just click on the pic and in the top right corner it says 'save to my tree'

then it comes up 'type the name of a person in your tree'

Hi Jan ,

Yes you can attach , I have done it, although I can't remember how ,I think there might be a link on Ancestry.
I have a feeling my son helped me with mine .

Good luck

Hi all.
I wonder if someone can help me please?
I feel I have done this before, but just can't remember.
I have access to a relative's tree on Ancestry, and they have just added a photo to their ancestor, I would like to attach it to mine too, but can't recall if you can, never mind how to do so.
Any advice much appreciated, thanks.
Jan
