I am unable to import to a new shared album on my MacBook Air M2 running Ventura

I tried all these suggestions unsuccessfully on macbook air M2 using Ventura OS. The suggestion to import to a new album failed spectacularly (big error code)

I tried every suggestion, unsuccessful. The suggestion to import to a new shared album failed spectacularly (huge error code from the system). Using Macbook Air M2 with 512 GB storage and Ventura OS.

Object: Copy (export, import, whatever name you wish to use) photos from shared album on Photos to a target folder or anything.

Why has Apple made this so dam difficult?

Title: Copy from shared album.

Where exactly do you want to save the shared photos, that you want to download from the shared album?

If you want to import the photos to the Photos Library and add them to new album:
- Create a new standard album in Photos (File > New album), then select the photos in the shared album and drag them to the new album in the sidebar. This will go wrong, if you already have imported one of the photos to Photos. In that case, add the photos in small groups to the album and skip thrones, that are giving an error.
If you want to save the photos to a folder outside of Photos:
- Select all photos in the Shared album together and use the command "Fiel > export" to save the photos to a folder.
