A GOOD PRINT SCREEN

[Nando]

For those interested.

I have up loaded to my USER FILES the PRINTSCREEN.ZIP file, it is a 3 MB size.

It allows to print or convert into different formats like GIF, ETC a screen capture or a selected size of the capture.

I use it to send drawings or what ever the screen shows that I have selected in the format I want.

For those people using Windows XP, here is a microsoft power toy.

It will resize the image AND reduce the filesize for you. It gives several predefined options and also the option to set your own size. I use this utility all the time because its so quick and easy.

Once installed, highlight the images to resize, right click one and click "resize". A box will appear where you can set its options, click OK and thats it :-)

Oops, thought this was for resizing images, guess I didnt read and think at the same time. Still, it can be useful for those print screen images as well as normal photos.

with windows you can take a snapshot of your screen with the print screen butten on your keyboard then you can paste it into paint and crop it edit it resize it and then save it as a .gif .jpeg or bitmap all without extra software

The intention was to present a simple software to do a fast job without opening more than one program and not a contest for different programs.

Resizing is indeed a good program to have.

thats what i do kurt

it seems by just croping a little of the outer edges it can take a huge .jpg and save it as one that is less than 100K and usually is less than 70K
