Q: How can I make my icloud shared photo album into a photobook without downloading each photo individually?

How can I make my icloud shared photo album into a photobook without downloading each photo individually?

 

I've curated photos of my son and have shared them with family. Now I want to make photo books as gifts to both sets of grandparents. As a mom, however, I don't have a lot of time. Is there a chatbook-like option? An app? Or a simple way to copy the photos from my shared stream to my computer?

    Not using Photos - you have to import each one - Right click and import  - you probably can to 6 to 10 a min so in the time it took to find this forum and post you could have pretty much done importing them

    This was not a very helpful post -- if you are importing more than a few photos this can take a long time, with a lot of room for error, and a lot of repetitive motions.

    And exactly how is your helpful in any way to anyone? My post for nine months ago is factual and tells exactly how to accomplish the desired task

    If the shared photo album was created by the original poster then she should have those image files in her library already and doesn't need to download from the shared stream. 

     

    However, her question indicates that she is not the originator of the shared album and thus does not have the image files already on her computer.  Thus,  Larry's suggest was absolutely dead on.

     

    So before criticizing his reply to someone else 9 months ago you should try to understand what the problem was before posting uninformed reply.
