Save As on Right click not available for saving images in Windows 7?

Options
I have quite a lot of photos on my hard disk (taken by me) and I need to copy some into a separate folder for my partner who is working on designing a document for me which contains them.

I used to do this by right clicking on the image. This generated a save as option and I just inserted the name of the folder I wanted it copied into, and away we went. Now I have windows 7 and when I open an image and right click, save as option is no longer there. Is it hidden somewhere else?

    Have you got copy to folder as an option when you right click an unopened image

    You should also be able to press and hold CTRL, select a number of images, release the CTRL key, click edit, click copy to folder.

    The Save As option is only when the image is open in a browser (Internet Explorer / Firefox etc)

    Right click on the file name in a directory listing and you'll find Copy. Do this then go to the destination directory, right click and Paste.
