• Click the "Save file" button and save the TIFF image file on your desktop.

4. If you instead you get an error message after clicking on the image link in the e-mail:

• open your browser (such as Internet Explorer)
  
• copy the link from the e-mail between but not including "<" and ">" and paste this address into the browser's "address" box
  
• then hit return or click "go"
  
• if you get an error message from the browser, such as "404 not found":
  
  • make sure you are copying the entire <URL> between (but not including) the "<" and the ">" characters into your browser
  • make sure that you get it all, including the .tiff or .tif at the end
  • many e-mail programs break up long internet addresses by putting a return character in the middle
  • if so, after you copy the long link to your browser you will also need to remove the extra return or space character(s), etc. that are breaking up the address to get it to work. For example, remove "%0A" (the line break character) or "%20" (the space character) from the URL in your browser if it appears. (Alternatively, you could copy a multiline link line by line to the browser, i.e., piece by piece, just copying the visible characters, to avoid copying extra non-printing characters that are not part of the link.)

5. If the image appears in a browser window, then try ONE of the following:

• On the PC: Right-click on the image and choose "Save Target As" or "Save File As"
  
• On the Mac: While holding down the "CTRL" key, click on the image, and select "save image to desktop" [or OPTION-click on the link instead, and, if asked, choose "Download Image to Disk"]
  
• Choose "Save As" from the FILE menu; or,
  
• Open the disk cache folder used by your browser and move (drag) the downloaded image from the disk cache used by your browser to your desktop.

6. When the download finishes decide what application you want to use to view it.

7. Open the application which you will use to view the image file, such as Photoshop, etc.

8. From this application, open, import, or place the TIFF image file as needed.

9. Please note that 19th stereoviews are about 3 1/2" square albumen photographic prints from collodion glass plate negatives which due to the image size and early photographic technology used have limited resolution, so for the best display appearance it is important to choose a reasonable magnification that is appropriate to the distance from which the images will be viewed.

10. If you still can't download the licensed image, send us an e-mail explaining exactly what you did and what problem you encountered.

Best of luck with your project.
