  The photo got lost from my computer and now exists only on my blog. My attempts to get it back resulted in a php file, which is useless to me. How can I get my photo for other use, as a jpg, bmp, or something normal?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I just click on the image, select “Save image as,” and save it back to my computer.

  Just to clarify, you must right-click, and you do this while viewing the image on your blog or if you select view image from the media library. It won’t work from the edit image screen.

  If you had uploaded a high-res image, go to the media library and select view image, and then right-click on the image resolution at the top of the screen to download the full-resolution image.

  Thank you! I was not able to do it from the media library, even closely following directions. But I was able to do it from the page itself. (Not sure why the media library only offers “save background image” and then doesn’t allow me to do it. But I have the header – thanks.
