Q.My hard drive died and took my photo library with it. I have most of my pictures on Flickr, though — is there a way to grab them back to my new Windows 10 PC from the website, without having to download them one by one?

A. For years, the quickest way to download photos in bulk from a Flickr account was to use a third-party utility like Bulkr or Flickr Downloadr, but Flickr added its own solution this year. As part of a site update announced in May, you can now download albums and pictures in large batches from your account’s Camera Roll page.

To download photos this way, log in to Flickr and click the Camera Roll tab on the left side of the page. The Camera Roll can be sorted by the date the pictures were taken or by Flickr’s Magic View feature, which attempts to recognize and sort the images based on basic subjects like architecture, people, food and so on.

Once you have sorted the photos your way, click the Select All button at the top of each batch until you have collected the batch you want to grab. After you select that first group of pictures, a box will appear at the bottom of the browser window with a Download button. Click the Download icon, and Flickr will create a compressed .zip file containing all the selected images at their full resolution.

Click the blue Download Zip button to copy the file to your new computer. Once you open the compressed file full of photos, you can move them into your Pictures library or import them into an image-editing program.

To guard against future loss from a failed hard drive, you may want to consider adding a backup routine to the mix. Windows 10 has a backup program, and you can have copies of pictures automatically archived online with services like Microsoft OneDrive, Google Photos Backup, Mozy or others.

The new program has moved away from recognizing athletic performance to providing a barometer on student’s health.The Presidential Youth Fitness Program places emphasis on the value of living a physically active and healthy lifestyle—in school and beyond. The President’s Council teamed up with leaders in the field to evolve the current test to a comprehensive program that provides training and resources to schools for assessing, tracking, and recognizing youth fitness. While the Fitness Test has changed over the years, the current test continues to assess physical fitness using data from the 1985 National School Population Fitness Survey. The program minimizes comparisons between children and instead supports students as they pursue personal fitness goals for lifelong health.

Download All Pictures From Flickr

Q. I want to download all of the photos in an album a friend shared online, but the site will only let me get one picture at a time. Is there a shortcut to download the whole set?

A. On the Internet, what goes up does not always come down as easily.

In this case, we have a user who can download individual photos from Yahoo's Flickr site (click the ellipsis-icon 'More Actions' button, select 'Download / All sizes' from its menu, pick a size and click the blue 'Download' button) but can't get multiple pictures in one step.

Flickr suggests using third-party programs written to work with the site and names one popular choice, the free Bulkr. But after trying that and several other apps that looked promising, either by virtue of user reviews or their own descriptions, I've yet to find any that I can endorse too strongly.

• Bulkr, an Adobe Flash-based app, wouldn't run in Apple's Safari unless I disabled a security restriction in that browser. No thanks: I have seen too many reports of attacks exploiting Flash flaws. In Chrome, an attempt to install it stalled out; only in Internet Explorer did it operate as advertised.

• Flick and Share had a promising pitch: Select an album to share, and it will create a link that recipients can click to download every photo in it. But after I got past the spammy presentation on its site (hint: ignore the big green 'free download' button), I saw that I'd have to run a Java applet in my browser--and Java's security on the Web makes Flash look bulletproof.

• Flixtractr didn't require installing any extra software but could only generate a compressed archive of an album -- one of my own, not anything shared by a Flickr contact--in Chrome. And it was strangely slow to do that.

• Downloadair's single-click install failed in Safari and Chrome but not in IE; in those first two browsers, I first had to download and install Adobe's Air software (a cousin of Flash) before installing this app. Then, however, it provided the best overall experience.

Many of the apps on Flickr's list seem to have been around a while and, unless updated, will stop working when the site (sensibly) requires outside apps to encrypt all their communication with the site, effective June 27.

(Disclosure: I write a column on policy issues at Yahoo Tech and have had a Flickr account since 2005.)

Flickr is not the only site to leave out a simple bulk-download function. Since 2010, Facebook has let you export all of your data from the site, but to get copies of the photos in a specific album you still have to employ third-party tools.

The open-source PhotoGrabber required a second click of its 'Login' button to get Facebook's site to cough up an alphanumeric token that, when pasted into its window, allowed it to access photo albums on the site. Running it on a Mac also required me to exempt the app from OS X's Gatekeeper screening, which I'm never happy about doing.

The Facebook-owned Instagram doesn't even offer Facebook's download-your-data option, but the free Web app Instaport suffices for the task.

Instead of mucking around with apps you've never heard of, it's probably easier to ask the person who posted the photos if they can share copies with you in an e-mail or on a file-storage service like Dropbox.

Google's Google+ may not be the most impressive social network, but it does ace this test: To download every photo in an album, whether it's yours or one shared by a friend, click the downward-facing arrow icon that appears above it when you move the cursor over that album, then select 'Download.'

TIP: USE PAINT, PREVIEW FOR PHOTO EDITING

While you weren't looking, Microsoft Paint and Apple's Preview have become decent image editors.

Microsoft Paint used to be this useless little app that could do little more than resize or crop a photo. But in Windows 7 and now 8, it can perform many more useful image-management tricks and provides a wide assortment of drawing and painting tools. And in Win 8.1, it's been joined by an optional Fresh Paint app that you could use to create your own artwork from scratch.

In OS X, meanwhile, Apple's Preview app can now fine-tune such image attributes as exposure, contrast and sharpness, then export them into most formats you might possibly need. It can also annotate PDFs and even embed an image of your signature, a supremely handy feature to self-employed types like me who regularly have to sign contracts.
