Sam, click the link to the invite. It should open up the gallery where your images are located. Click the Image you want to download and it will load up to a bigger size. Look on the right and it says "Add to lightbox" and "click to download". Click to download and it will ask you if you are sure you want to download the image. After clicking that your image will download to your computer. Be patient, the download takes a bit to start. Just a silly question, but you DO have a photoshelter account and you're logged in when you're trying to do this aren't you?

I would rather not download another browser, especially considering this site should operate on IE....

I just checked Photoshelter in Internet explorer and it works for me. I would guess that it's a problem on the gallery side. I think you have to set up the gallery for people to to be able to download images from it, so it probably got set up where it won't let you download. Wait to hear from Becky, I'm sure she can get it sorted out. Don't give up just yet! (Although I know it can be frustrating :P )

You should have received two invites. One to be able to view all of the OPR images available to download. Once you accept that invite, all you're able to do is view and comment on  the images, but more importantly it adds you to the volunteer database on Photoshelter so that Mike and Becky can "see" you.

After you  have accepted the first invite, you're free to leave comments on any images that you would like to work on. Becky or Mike (depending on who's guidance you fall under) will then set up a personal gallery for you to download your selected images. Once that personal gallery is created, you'll receive a second invite with a link that leads directly to your gallery.

Are you sure you're working from the second invite?

Becky is out on assignment at work right now (I know because I'm her assignment editor). I'll let her know about your problem when she gets back to the office.

Don't give up either way. You may be frustrated now, but in the end you'll be really happy that you stuck with it.

Sam,
I went into your account and reset EVERYTHING. 
Let me know if this works!
We'll keep working on it if not and figure something out, even if I have to drive a cd of the photo to your front door (okay, that would probably be a bit extensive...)

View your email.
There will be a link to your account when you receive the invitation.   

Go to www.photoshelter.com/c/opr
Login
Click on My Photoshelter

Once you have logged on it will bring you to a page that My Photo Shelter.  There you may see lightbox with some in it as you have stated and below that is gallery.  That is where you will see your invitation.   Click on the invitation.

That will take you to the picture that you requested. 

Now click on the picture that you requested and it is THEN that you will receive the information for download as pictured in another response to your inquire.

Click to download high resolution and it place it where you want it after saying ok.

That should do it.

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for posting!  I've been trying to track you down... I could not find your e-mail address to get you the access you need and invite you to the gallery.  Would you mind dropping me an e-mail or a personal message? 

Thank-you thanks gracias!
