Screen shots

People have asked me how to take the screen shots, it is not hard.

When you have a pose or image you want to take,

Hold down the ALT key and press Print Screen (Key might just have PRT SC)

This captures the image to the clipboard.

Then you open paint or any photo imaging prgram to a blank page.

Hold down CTRL and hit the V to paste the image.

Then Save As and name it, under that it will give you the option to save as file type, make sure that says jpeg.

(If it is not working, make sure the print screen key is enabled)

Then you upload the image to a photo album here, that will give you the URL or image code you need to place the image in your post.

Remember that a moderator must approve your photo and post before it will show.

I have another screenshot tip!
It also depends what type of computer it is to take a screenshot.
In a Mac, you have a program called Grab you can use.
In the HP laptop I have, you press FN + Prt Sc to take a screenshot.
Then open Paint and Paste it in there.

By FN, I don't mean the two keywords. I mean the second button
on the bottom row.

If you are using Paint:
Do this after you have captured your screen image, pasted it into a new blank file and saved the original file.

Draw a marquee box (a rectangular, dotted-lined box) around the portion of the image you wish to KEEP.

Once you have the area you want, select the COPY feature located under Edit. (Or you can hit the Control Key+C on your keyboard)

Open a new, blank file.

Paste in your cropped portion of your screen shot (control key+V).

Save your edited file!

If you are using another photo editing program, such as Photoshop or Illustrator, you can simply use the CROP feature.

Hope that helps!
