Yes, the pictures were attached to an email from a friend.
So, this morning I opened a picture, right-clicked, again nothing. But, when I go back and just highlight the name of the attached file without opening it first, I have a "save as" option. Once it's saved to a folder, I can open it, edit it, etc.
It just seemed odd that once the file was opened, all the options with the right-click were unavailable.
So, apparently all is not lost.
