Q: How can I download photos from "Shared" to my mac in OS X Yosemite?

I'm trying to download photos from "Photos" in OS X Yosemite from a relative's album, as I would do in my iPhone, but I can't find the way. Does anyone know hot to do it?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    The image must first be imported into Photos - right click on it in the shared album and elect "import" - then it will be in your library and fully accessable

    Thanks Larry,

     

    I juts tried your procedure and It's working just like you say. However I don't know why it doesn't work the same way when I select many photos, for my exercise I'm selecting 470 photos and after right clicking and importing them, nothing happens!

     

    Do you have idea what might be happening?
