An even easier way to do this is to just open the photo on facebook, then right click on it and "copy URL". Paste that into a new tab just to confirm that you've copied only the link to the photo. 

 

FYI - you can create facebook albums that only you can see, if you're trying to upload photos that are not already on facebook.

This is what I have been doing.  I'll add these other instructions to the stickied thread.

 Thanks Adam.

I do mine that way because I don't use F/B and there may be a few others who don't.

Right clicking on photos in facebook only works if you aren't in the dumbass photo viewer thingy they have (unless they've changed something).  A lot of the times, the photoviewer will give you a non-image url that does not work here.  You have to escape out of it first, via f-something.  I don't remember what because facebook sucks and I gave it the boot in March.

After the viewer, you can still right click.  If on IE, you go to properties and find the jpg link. If not on IE (Chrome), the right click, open in another tab will give you the link.
