How do I save a picture in "Preview" to the desktop?

Hello,
Now that I'm using Lion, I'm having to re-learn several things and right now I'm trying to figure out how to save a picture to my desktop when I'm in "Preview". In Snow Leopard, all I had to do was go under the File menu and choose, "Save As". However, in Lion, that feature is gone. Instead, it says: "Save A Version". I have no idea what that means. When I am viewing a photo, if I select "Save A Version", I do not see anything happening. Maybe it is saving my photo somewhere on my computer, but if that is the case, I have no clue where it is being saved. What I want to be able to do is "Save" the photo with a name that I choose to give it (not the default name of the picture as it was emailed to me), and I want to be able to save it to my desktop. In Snow Leopard, choosing "Save As" would bring up a dialogue window where I could accomplish these things. So my question is: How do I do this is Lion?
Thanks!

Open your picture in preview then select file>duplicate then go back the file menu and then select save, the save options window will open you can choose to save it to the desktop.

    Click and hold on the Save button, and a menu appears, listing each attached file’s name along with a Save As button. Select any individual file, and you’ll save just that attachment to disk. But the really nice feature is the final menu item—Add to iPhoto. That’s right; with one button click-and-hold, you can add all of a message’s attached images to iPhoto.

    Check the App Store for apps that allow you to change the pixel dimensions of the photo. I use PhotoForge2 and it does a wonderful job of that by allowing you to move a slider to change the dimensions of the photo. Unfortunately Google purchased the company that made photoforge and it is no longer in the App Store. Thee are undoubtedly some other apps that will do what you want.

    How can I save a picture in Photoshop Elements that was emailed to me using Photoshop Elements?

    Save the attachment in a folder.
    From the Organizer menu choose:
    File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your image and click Open.
      If the photo is embedded, make a copy or screen grab and then whilst it’s still held in memory open the Elements Editor.
    From the menu click:
    File >> New >> Image from clipboard
    Then use File >> Save As
    Then choose jpeg.

    You would need to import them to the computer first, iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer  then copy/move the photos from the computer to the flash drive. There is no way to save directly to a flash drive from the iPhone, there is no connection.

  • In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    It's rather more complicated that this.
    iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
    The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
    If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
    You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
    Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
    But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • How can i save my Test Stand report as the serial Number?

    Hi, I'm using TestStand 3.0 and LabVIEW 7.0 I want to know how i can save my TestStand generated report as the UUT serial number. Thanks

    Hi arj,
    Within the Report Option in the Report File Pathname Tab is a control 'New UUT Report File for Each UUT'. Enabling this will include the Serial number in the Report Filename. Unfortunately its formated into the filename as '[serial number]'.
    This is done in a step in the Process Model - Test UUTs or Single Pass. This step is called 'Determine Report File Path' which is a dll call to a function in modelsupport2.dll. This returns the full pathname to the report and stores in Locals.ReportFilePath.
    So you have the option either modify the Locals.ReportFilePath or modify the Function in modelsupport2.dll and rebuild the DLL.
    Hope this helps
    Regards
