Astronomy Printshop: Step 2 – Save Your File – Flash from Star V838 Monocerotis "Echoes" Through Space

Although this image may look small it has only been scaled to fit on this web page. It actually has all the resolution needed for a full-size print.

Go to Step 3

Once the entire image has loaded on your screen, right-click (using a PC) or Option-click (using a Mac) on the image. You will get a list of options. Depending on which browser you use (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc.) one of those options will say something like: "Save Image As," "Save Picture As," or "Save Target As." Choose that.

A dialog will appear asking where you want to save the image. Pick a spot on your computer (Desktop, My Documents, Home, etc.) and click "Save." Congratulations – you are now the proud owner of a digital Hubble image. Remember where you put the image, because you'll have to find it later.
