I bet you all know the google image search service which displays only thumbails of pictures that are related to your search terms. You load the full sized image by clicking on one of the thumbnails and may save that one manually to your hard drive. This process is taking a long time if you for example would like to save the first 100 results because they look all so nice..
An alternative to the manual process is using a freeware application like googlegrab which automatically saves the full size images to a newly created folder that is named after the search terms. The program is pretty straight forward. Enter a search term and click search. Googlegrab does everything else. It creates a folder, saves all images to that folder.
You can set some options as well. First, you can limit the downloads to x pictures, the default is 1000. Then you can opt ot download only pictures of a certain size, you can turn downloads for five sizes on or off. (XXL, XL, L, M and S). Then you can turn off child save searches which is probably a good idea and see a preview of the current image.
Googlegrab is available for PC and Mac, great tool.
