  Hello –

  There is not an easy way to do this. From the classic dashboard you can go through each image and download one at a time.

  Here’s a link to get you started: https://thehipandthrifty.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  Thanks for your help! Based on your advice, I think I know what I did wrong–I should’ve right clicked and chosen “Save As” on each image. Regarding the tedium, I don’t mind too much, as I only need to save 50 images or so. If anyone else wants to do this, however, remember to select and get to that image’s editing page BEFORE you save it to your computer, or else your image will be smaller and of inferior quality. Thank you again for your help! Have a great day :)
