Q: How do I download shared pictures (iCloud Photo Sharing) to my own Mac?

I'm using iCloud Photo Sharing to share pictures with my mother. She can see the shared pictures in a mosaic display format (not as an album, and not in the typical "grid" format in the Photos app) under the "Shared" tab in Photos. How can she import all of them (download them) to her own computer? It seems the only way is ctrl+clicking one by one and selecting "import" from the menu. I am sharing more than 500 photos. There has to be a simpler way to do this.

 

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    In grid view select multiple photos the same as any other selection - command click on photos to select noncontiguous photos or click on one and then shift click on another to select a contagious set - right click on the selection and import
