Several members have asked how to extract and save individual photos from the slideshows.  We haven't found an easy way such as doing a 'right click' or a 'save as'.

Here's the deal:  the slideshow is 'compiled' from individual photos and mp3 sound files into a single flash file.  The first thing you need to do is get a copy of the flash file onto your computer. You can  download the slideshows of your choice and save it on your computer.  Be sure to remember where you save the slideshow, Or, you may already know how to download flash files from websites and have downloaded videos such as YouTube videos.  If so, go to the BMMC website and download the flash files as you would from YouTube or other web based sources.  The flash files are not protected.  Firefox has an add-on to their superior browser that makes this sooooo easy.  It's called Download Helper.

Once you have the flash slideshow on your computer, you need a 'decompiler' program to extract the photos.  Here is a free program called SWF Picture Extractor.  Download it here.

Download and install SWF Picture Extractor.  Run the program.  Click "Open File" and navigate to the folder where you have saved the slideshows, click on the file you want and then click "open".  This will open the slideshow and extract the photos.  Be patient.  Then click "view" and then "options" and select where you want the photo(s) to be saved.  Click on the photo you want and then click "save picture".  This will save the photo in the folder you have specified. Or, you can save all of them.  Your choice.

Navigate to the folder and open it.  You will find 3 folders have been created; your photos are in the folder named 'jpg'.  The photos are named image1, image2 and so on. Then you can do with what you wish with the photos.  Sound files are not extracted, only photos.

Keep in mind these are not high quality images; we reduce the quality of them as much as we can to minimize the file size yet display a good photo on the monitor.  Remember, computer monitors only display a resolution of 72 pixels per inch while a high quality photo may be 600 pixels (or higher) per inch.  So, for our purposes, there is no need to display high resolution photos.
