screen cature

sorry i meant capture. my bad.  

print screen key
open graphics program
edit > paste
save as
upload to a site like photobucket
copy the http url generated at upload site
paste into box here, that pops up when you click the insert image icon

First arrange your desktop the way you want and literally all you have to do is press the "print screen" button on your keyboard, located in the top right corner next to your scroll lock usually.

Once you've done that open your "Paint" application or any photo editor or word processor such as MSWord, go to edit and click paste!

There's your screen shot! That's all there is to it!

Paint defaults the file type into BMP but if you do a save as you can save it in any format, most notably JPG which weighs much less than a bitmap. Don't forget to name your file and remember where you saved it to.

I hope this helps, good luck! And keep on skinning!

  

Darn I could've had fun with that...cat maiming a computer sort of thing.

thanx to all [sir bichur,cplair,and SirSmiley] you folks awesome!!!  this was my first question posted here on this great site. thanx all of you for your quick responses!

To answer your question for real. Check at Rumshot (google it) it's by Andrew and creates a preview plus a screenshot. That's what I use for displaying my screenshots.

There's also a docklet for Object Dock called 'Capture' that works very well. It will even throw in a thumbnail.

  thanx SirSmiley,and Sir Bichur your still awesome!!!

pj ... a very simple way to capture your desktop is
press the print screen key then open " paint " -
just regular old paint which is part of windows
go to edit then paste it and save it ...... done !

now put it into any photo editing program and
play with it till done and re save - it's now
ready to go ! ..... AzDude ...

...make sure to save as a jpeg not a BMP Also a quick way to open Paint if thats what u use is .. RUN > mspaint

or you can use faststone it's free and usefull here you can make quasi all you want and add settings to auto save the screen capture in jpg, png, bmp what you want in the folder of your choice. really simple to use

pj . i really like this the best , i use it ( faststone )
once set up is done for capture , it's a snap to use and
it edits too - one-stop shopping if you will !

Try it you'll like it and it's FREE !

Faststone

True ...it is a very small app. Once you download it click on it & choose options to customize it. I have it to start with windows & run in the system tray. For a fullscreen SS just click on printscreen and you can have it set to open the folder you saved it to. To highlight an area just righclick on the systemtray icon and select which one you want or use the keyboard shortcuts.

It's My Secret

Faststone ..Love it already.. press prntscrn one time and it screenies my desktop, names it and saves it to my desktop ready to send.( ctrl+M for a crop )

Top notch.
