Printing pictures from Pinterest?

There are some pictures on Pinterest I have that I would like to print.  When I save image as... for pictures for screen savers they are huge.  I also want to know if you can choose the sizes.  Each time I choose a size for my screen savers they are always the same size huge.  I am also interested in printing them out with a printer will they also be huge or do I have a choice of sizes?

    this issues relate to the software program you are opening the photos with, not to the hardware ... what software are you trying to use?  what else can you use?

    You can't choose the size of picture to download, ma'am, but you CAN choose which size to print when you print them out.

    Unfortunately, you don't indicate which specific brand and model of printer you have, nor which picture-editing software you will be using, so I'm afraid I can't give precise details on how to do this.

    Having said that, when you click to Print, a dialog box will normally pop up requesting you to choose your printer.  From that dialog box, select your Printer by its name.  Assuming you have your printer plugged in and turned on, this will normally be detected as your default printer.

    Click on the Preferences button ... on the right hand side ... and choose which size you wish to print.

    Be aware, ma'am, that some pictures/photographs used on Pinterest MAY have copyright, so if you intend to sell your work/prints you MUST obtain written permission from the copyright holder.  This MAY well mean you need to pay for the picture(s)/photograph(s), but if you're using them just for yourself there's no way for the copyright holder(s) to know that.  The decision, therefore, rests with your conscience.
