Hi John

The images are purchased by the user, having them go through an instructions
page for there browser telling them to right click and save as an all that
i't would be nicer if they could click a download link, give it a name and
job done.

Trouble is linking to the image results in the browser displaying the image,
rather than downloading it.

Thanks for the reply.
