How to post/send Screen Shots

Post by DM_Kim »

By Request

How to make a Screen Shot:
#1. While in game to take a Screen Shot hit the Print Screen key (PrT Sc/SysRq) found next to the Scroll Lock key.

#2. Minimize the game screen by hitting your key with the Windows Logo

#3. Open MsPaint

#4. Click on the Edit command and then Paste on the drop-down

#5. When you see the Pop-up "Would you like the bitmap elarged?" Hit "YES".

#6. Click on the File command and "SaveAs" to a file folder where you can find the image again.

That is how you make a Screen Shot.
To post or send a Screen Shot you must:
#1. You need to upload the Screen Shot to a web site like;

ImageCave - http://imagecave.com
imageShack - http://my.imageshack.us

or some other image web hosting site.

#2. Each site has their own way of uploading. Follow those instructions.

#3. Once uploaded you need the link information that is now attached to your Screen Shot. Look for a Image
If the link associated with your upload does not have the tags with it, look just about the subject line of your post or PM message area and you will see: Image.

#4. To verify that your Screen Shot is now connected, view your post or PM with "Preview" If all is well, Send. If not just leave the link within your post or PM and others will be able to click on it then see your Screen Shot where it is being hosted.

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-file-acquire.html Save as *.jpg, select where, check display preview. About 85% still preserves text well. If just selecting a small area of the screen, png will probably be a better option than messing with jpg compression.
