Download all your iCloud photos

I used to just be able to log in to iCloud, Shift+click to select all my photos, and download them all at once. There seems to be a new iCloud interface since I last logged in that prohibits the shift+click option, meaning I would have to command+click each individual photo to select them all at once. This is horribly inconvenient, as I have thousands of photos I want to download from iCloud onto my external hard drive. How can I highlight all photos at once in a manner that won't take me 45 minutes? Seems silly that they would make the interface less convenient this way.

Thanks. Unfortunately my photos are scattered among hundreds of different moments, so this isn't much help. Seems odd that they would change a feature that afforded such convenience to where it's now very inconvenient. I sent feedback. That can't be the first time someone has complained about it, though.
