How to take a screen shot
Many times we need to put into a jpeg photo what
we see on our monitor screen.
If we just copy the page and paste in into somewhere it doesn't always come out
looking the same. And maybe we only need a pic of a portion of what we see
on the page.
Here is how to make a correct pic of what you
see on the page.
1. On your keyboard, in the upper right usually, is a key called Print
Screen.
Press this and it takes a snapshot of everything you see on your monitor screen
and puts it on your clipboard. Similar to when you select something and do a
control c copy.
2. Now open up your photoshop program. I still use Adobe Photoshop 6.0
3. From the file menu bring down NEW. It opens to a blank page
4. Select the marque tool from the photoshop
tool menu, looks like a dotted rectangle
like a lasso. With it select what you want out of the first picture. Push
control C which
copies your selection to the clipboard.
5. Go back to file menu and pull down to NEW
again. Another blank page comes up.
Push control V (paste) and paste your selection you lassoed
from th epirst pic pasted
onto the new page.
Select IMAGE, then ADJUST, to change the brightness and contrast of
your picture.
Select IMAGE SIZE to change how big the pic will appear when
stored.
6. Then pull file menu down to SAVE AS, name the pic, determine image
quality, I normally
use 5, and save it as a jpeg to someplace you know where it is at.
