If I've downloaded an image in Safari, and then decide I want to save that image to my hard disk, how do I do it without downloading the image again? In Explorer you just drag the image to the desktop, but in Safari this causes the image to start downloading again. I'm sure I'm missing the obvious here...
Thanks in advance

Not missing anything, this is how Safari works. I don't like it either.

Assuming the image is not embedded in an HTML page:
File -> Save As...
Doesn't re-download the image.

Yeah, but when (when you're just surfing) is an image NOT embedded in an HTML page?
Anyways, I can see no logic to how Safari deals with these images. What gives?

yeah, this is quite irritating. Especially if the image is a couple of MB! I'm on cable (read 1Mbit connection) and it is still a pita.
Anyone know if they are planning to change the way this behaves?

...and because it redownloads the image when you drag it to the desktop, it keeps the original jpg's creation date, not the date you snagged it, so sorting your googled ref pics by date is stuffed.
...aaalso cgi scripts and stuff sometimes mean a webpage won't let safari redownload a jpg because it thinks the image is being linked to from outside the site
i REALLY hope this isn't a permanent feature

Right click on the image, choose Open Image in New Window (it doesn't download again since it should be cached), choose File -> Save As...
