why cant we save our own pics on our computer?

You can save them as jpg or Word documents. Right click on one of your thumbnails and there are options available to you. Good luck.

oh ok ty, is there a way to save them full sized? every time i try to save a thumbnail, the quality is terrible...

nobiggie

i bet it's just some setting that needs to be adjusted...thanks for the help=)

very interesting questions nobiggie
My fantasy tells me that if we upload our pics they don't belong to us anymore. Perhaps you could ask Rachel of Think Draw via Feedback.

My knowledge of computer science is ZERO but what I've done is :

1 I have my full size pic on the screen on Think Draw.

2 I press the button PRINT SCREEN.

3 I open PAINT (of Windows)

4 I go to the menu of Edición (I suppose Edition in English)

5 I hit the option PASTE.

Then it appears on my PAINT screen and I can save it or do whatever I want with it. Maybe someone who knows more
can tell nobiggie and me if this is right.

Polenta's steps are exactly right.

The pix here are created in Flash (a program), so right-clicking the finished piece as we normally view it won't let you save directly. You need to go to the 'PRINT' version (which is not Flash) to capture a picture directly at normal size.
(Thumbnail size can also be captured from the right-click menu.)

To get the greatest detail, however, zoom in on the picture as tightly as your screen will allow, and then simply click PrintScr (upper right, most keyboards), and then paste into any graphics program as Polenta said. Saving that as a .jpg is generally best.

To zoom in, using either MSIE or Firefox browser, click View along the top of your browser and Zoom will be one of the drop down menu options. The keyboard shortcut is to hold down the Control key and type the + sign to zoom in, or Control and the - sign to zoom out... this can be done several times... or Ctrl and the zero returns it to normal all in one step.

Copyright issues are a bit odd on the internet. Worth researching if it really matters. Short version goes like this tho-- you have the right to anything you've created unless you sign that right away, so read the various website's "terms" --TD doesn't make any claim on your stuff.
BUT -- it's also widely accepted that in the world of art one can make copies of other people's work as long as they either do it in a different medium or make significant changes (tricky term, 'significant') and state "after" in the crediting (eg. "Solitude - by Qsilv, after Login" means I am crediting Login as the originator of the idea).

;p

Well, I've often thought it would be nice to be somebody else for a while ... then I abandon the idea when I realise how many people address us personally ... I like that a lot.
