Windows 10: Where does the webcam save photos?

If I open the webcam app, then get it to show the correct camera attached and press the "take a picture" button, there is really no clue where the file will get saved at all. I don't have a D drive, and the folder is writeable. And if I change the storage from C to C and reboot, it still does not save the pics where I expect or anywhere as far I can tell. I have disabled OneDrive and Cortana, which should not really impact, but worth mentioning I hope.It just looks from doing a few google searches, like there are many people who ask this question, and never get a definitive answer https://answ

Saving photos

Hi DustinHennin,

First, congratulations on being one of the first folks to get the elusive Samsung ATIV S.

Would you please elaborate as to what app you're using to view photos and what steps you're taking in order to save the photos?

For instance, if I'm in the People hub and see a pic someone posted that I want to save to my phone:

• I simply tap on the photo and it brings it to another screen.
• Then I tap the ellipses (...) at the bottom of the screen and choose save to phone.
• Next, I go back to my Start screen and tap on Photos.
• Tap on albums.
• Tap on Save Pictures.
• My latest photo that I saved should be there at the top.

Here's some more information about
Photos on Windows Phone.

I hope this helps!
