I've received photos from a friend via shared photostream. How do I import them into my albums so I don't lose them and can share them if I want to?

iPad 2, iOS 6

Do you mean on your Mac (this is the iLife iPhoto forum) or on your iPad?

On your Mac ctrl-click the photo(s) in the shared Photo Stream and select "Import". This will create a new event with imported images.
On your iPad open the "Photos" app, open the shared Photos Steam, click the "Edit" button, select the images and press the "Share" button.
Select to share to the "Camera Roll". This will store the photos on your iPad.
