Screenshot Image Guide
Screenshot and Image posting guide
Note: This is a PC Friendly Guide, I am not familiar with Macs. If a Mac user would like to post a mac related guide, that would be great. Posting options should be similar. [OVERVIEW] The process for taking a screenshot in Pixie Hollow is actually very simple. How you save and modify the screenshot is where things generally start to get complicated. This guide was written to help make the whole process understandable. [REQUIREMENTS] Operational Pixie Hollow game. Basic computer skills, copy/cut/paste, etc. [TERMINOLOGY] Pixie - Pixie Hollow game.[TAKING SCREENSHOTS] To take a screenshot in Pixie, making sure your Pixie Hollow game is the active application, simply press Alt+Printscreen.[HOSTING SCREENSHOTS] There are 2 different approachs to hosting your images/screenshots for posting in the forums here at PHF. Your account status may limit or vary availability of some options. The following are the 2 most common (if not only) means of hosting images for display in your forum posts. 1. Gallery - You can attach an image to any post using PHFs image gallery (note images may be required to wait for approval). You may have a limited amount of space alotted to your account for submissions to the "gallery".
2. External Hosting - You can upload your pictures to an external host. [POSTING SCREENSHOTS]The process for uploading and using files may vary from host to host. Generally the idea would be to get the "URL" or web address to the hosted image (once uploaded to the approved host) so you can insert it into BBCode [shot] or [img] tags. See [POSTING SCREENSHOTS]. This guide will review 2 methods of posting an image/screenshot in a forum post here at PHF. Each method requires some information, usually the "URL" or web address to the image/screenshot to be displayed. See [HOSTING SCREENSHOTS]. Posting your screenshots on PHF*More editing options to be added later... But the above should get most started!!!

Most likely it's because you have a different computer. For example, I have a laptop, and I have to press Fn+PrtSc keys instead. What kind of keyboard do you have??

if you do the highlighted one (command-shift-4) and then press the space bar, the cursor turns into a camera and you can take a snapshot of just a single window. i normally use Safari and have my window size set just barely big enough to not have scroll bars, which is about 996x827. hope this is useful. |

if you are on Windows 7 you could try the snipping tool. should be located where your start button is.

be sure that after you pressed the buttons to print the screen that you make sure as to paste the picture in paint. if you have already tried pasting the picture in paint after pressing PrtSc and all those other buttons then i don't know how else to help..

OK vetcat, what you do is....
1. Press Fn+PrtSc 2. Open up the program Paint (it's that default computer program that you can draw on) 3. Press Ctrl+V Voila! The screenshot should now appear! (if it doesn't show up, try some other buttons in Step 1) 4. If you want to, cut it up and crop it to your liking using Paint. 5. Press Ctrl+S, name it and save it on your computer wherever you choose! Does that make sense now? |
