I can no longer save scren shots or drag and drop photos to my desktop because of a permissions issue. How do I remedy this?
What message, if any, are you getting when you try to do this? How do you know it's a Permissions issue?
Try a permissions repair ,see if that helps. Go to utilities, disk utilities, select (highlight) your user disk, (Macintosh HD, unless your renamed it), click repair repair permissions. You can also check and see if the photo is locked, highlight the photo, command I and see if it is locked, if it is unlock it.

If it's a Permissions issue with the Desktop, Permissions repair won't touch that. It won't touch anything in the user.
We first need to establish if this is a Permissions issue.
this is the message when I try to capture a scren shot,
You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored.
here is the message,
You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored.
Do a GetInfo (right-click>GetInfo) on the Desktop folder. You can do this by just clicking anywhere on the Desktop (but not on an icon or folder sitting on the Desktop.) We can look into this more carefully by examining the Unix Permissions, but right now what does it say for Sharing and Permissions?
Also, are you seeing if the GetInfo "Locked" checkbox for Desktop is checked? If it is, uncheck it.
permissions were checked no access for everyone. I changed it to everyone. I still cant sve a screen shot with this message; You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored.
Could it be a browser issue?? I am using Chrome.
I GOT IT! my account wasn't listed in permissions. Thanks SO much!
everyone should be No Access. Change that back. But, yes, your account, your user, should be the owner.
