If the images are contiguous (i.e. grouped together), click on the top one (or top left depending on your Finder View choice) then hold down the shift key and click on the last one you want. That should select them all as a block.


If they're not all conveniently together, use the Command key instead of Shift and select the ones you want.

You can drag a box round the ones you want to save selecting each individually, if they're in groups.

Your problem, hardware or software, may not be exactly the same as that of the original poster of this older thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread, which can also result in you applying the wrong advice to your particular problem.


In order for us to give your problem our proper attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question. Please remember to post in the forum relevant to your hardware or version of OS X. A full list of all the support forums is here:
