Do you mean from a Photo Album on their Facebook page? If so, open the photo, and move the cursor to the bottom of the photo until you see the "Options" option. Click on that, then on Dowload, in the Open with dialogue, click on "other" and select Photos or iPhoto (whichever your are running) from your Applications folder, and then click on OK. It will import it to your Photos or iPhoto app.

Hi Gail,
Thanks for the help. I have downloaded a photo from my friend's FB album but am now confused as to where to find the 'click on other' that you indicate. The photo did appear in Finder under downloads.

The "Other" appears on the photo while it is still in Facebook. Instead of downloading it, you click on Open and then you select the photo app in the dialogue box (Preview is pre-selected).
I tested this with a photo from my brother's Facebook album and it worked without a hitch.
However, if you downloaded it instead, then if you can find it in the Downloads folder (1) in Finder, then you can select it (2), and then use the Share option (3) to move it to your Photos app:

If the photos is in DOwnloads then simply drag it (them) to the iPHoto icon in the Dock to import to iPhoto

Even easier! 🙂 I finally figured out that when I take a screenshot on my iPhone, and then go to my Photos app to retrieve it to use in a post, that all I have to do is drag it from the Photos app to my desktop....I don't even want to tell you the hoops I was going through to get them here before I tried the easiest and most obvious solution (eyeroll)....

Gail, first off, thanks for all your help. You too LarryHN.
While messing around in FB trying things, I discovered that if I opened my friend's FB album and opened a photo, I could right click on it which opened a drop down list, where I selected downloads and went on to download about 100+ photos. Then it was just a matter of selecting the photos (you can batch select them) and dragging them into an iphoto album I had created to store these together for a DVD slideshow of the Grandkids.
Again thanks for the help, no way I could have figured it out without you guys!

Ok
You are welcome

You are most welcome! I'm glad LarryHN joined in, though. His solution is so much more elegant than the one I was using! Glad you are all set now 🙂
