If you click on the blue link that says 'switch to advanced viewer', not only can you view the images clearer but you get more icons for choices in the bottom right hand corner. You do have to patient while the image is downloading (there is a bar at the bottom, plus you see a blurry image becoming clearer!). Then you can choose 'save' - there is also a magnifying glass etc. I don't 'save to my ancestry', I just click on the save button and you can save the image as a JPEG on your pc. I have successfully saved lots this way, and even forwarded them as email attachments to other members. Hope this makes sense! Mandy :)

If I try and save a page from Ancestry I can`t, but others of you obviously do...so, what am I doing wrong?
