Each and every time you hit Share on a picture, the link Facebook creates will open not just the picture in the lightbox, but the whole album of the picture.
How to prevent that to be able to share only the picture?

@bronislav: Yes of course, but I want to avoid that if possible.– ScorchioMay 24, 2013 at 11:24

Open the pic in either in the same tab (Inline) or in another tab...
In case you have opened it in the same tab (the pic opening in a frame above the previous page)
- click on
Optionsat bottom - click on
Get Link
In case you have opened it in a new tab
- Click on
Get Linkwhich you will find on right- bottom of the picture
ALSO: In case you don't even want the person recieving the link to read the comments, do this:
Open the pic in full
Right click on the pic and then
Copy Image URL.This link should look something like
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/263265_377992872319381_1411429080_n.jpgsharing this link would mean sharing the pic only, and nothing else
I actually discovered a better way.
- Post your photo to your regular timeline, not in the photo album.
- Confirm that the photo appears in your timeline.
- Open the photo and then choose 'Options' at the bottom of the photo and select the 'Move to Other Album' option.
This will put just the photo on your timeline, forcing Facebook hold its place there and then you move it to the album now that FB is committed it to your timeline. Folks can then browse your time and still the photo.

Has 'move to other album" option moved somewhere else? I can't locate it (using browser on destkop). Apr 16 at 19:13
