How do I “download” all my photos from my media library to my local computer?
I can do this one at a time, but is there a way to grab them all at one time? Sort of like a “download all” process.

Your best way of doing that would be downloading the wp-content/uploads directory, by ftp access.
i found this plugin:
it doesn’t provide any options, just spits out a zip file for download. no ftp needed, works in the dashboard.
for anyone else who is interested:
find yourself a php script that creates a zip from a list of files provided.
after that, use the script provided on this site: Get All Images in Media Gallery?, to create the list for the archiver script.
i hope this helps, at least this is the way i did it.
Instead of ftp go to your cpanel and login. Open File Manager > Public HTML > wp_content > uploads….there will be folders with dates. Open them. You’ll see your images. You can download them each or all at one time directly to your computer. Voila! I just did it myself. Hope that helps. By the way, ftp id faster. I use filezilla but it was having some inconvenient glitch at the moment so i did this 2nd option!
