Download: There is a relatively fast way:
Open the Photo Album in Viewer (I know it definately works for Firestorm)
Highlight all the photos you wish to copy (shift can be used for bulk highlight)
Rt-click within the highlighted section, and select 'save as'
Pick a folder on your drive and just keep clicking 'save' and every one you highlighted will open on the screen (and save to the disk at the same time) for each click
