How to take a screen shot:

In Windows: Press the "Prt Scr" or "Print Screen" button. It will copy whatever you see on the screen to your clipboard. Then you can paste it wherever you want.

If you're using a Mac: (the following has not been verified by me, so if anyone can confirm it -- I'd appreciate it). Press Command + Shift + #3 key all at once to take a picture of the entire screen. Pressing Command + Shift + #4 keys all at once will allow you to take a picture of whatever area you select with the mouse. The pictures will be saved in the main level of your hard drive, and it will be called "Picture 1," then "Picture 2," etc. Screen shots are saved in PICT format.

Paste your screen shot into your favorite Paint program, and edit.

If using PAINT: Click "Edit," then "Paste." Your image will appear in the Paint window. There you can preview your image (Click "File" --> "Preview"), and Print if you like the size of your current image. If you would like to enlarge or reduce the size of your image, you can play with "Image" --> "Stretch." To keep your image in proportion, be sure to use the same percentage for horizontal and vertical.

If using a program such as PAINT SHOP PRO (PSP): Click "Edit," then "Paste." Your image will appear in the PSP window. Now you can do many things to your image, including sharpening the focus, enlarging or reducing to a size you specify, and taking out the background image or color. Newer versions of PSP easily allow you do one click changes. If you need any specific information on how to do any of this, just send me a PM and I will be glad to help.

Changing the size of your image in PSP: I have made my flats about 4" high. You can make yours larger or smaller -- it's all a matter of preference. If you would like to enlarge your image, click "Image" --> "Resize." The locations of actions may be different in different versions of PSP, but you can run a search in there to find out where "resize" is for example. You can crop your image to remove excess background, then choose what size to make your image, and remove the background completely using the background eraser tool (in PSP X).

Then save your pic to your computer and upload to a photo storing site like photobucket.

HOW TO TAKE A SCREEN SHOT

Thanks Mal, hugzzzzzzzz, for the info. Someone once told me you could right click an image on the screen and then look for it on the computer, but I can't remember exactly how to do it now. :cpuhurl: I will mess around and try this info out. :)
