How do I get screen caps?

[Licker4U]

What software do I need to get a screen cap of a paysite tour? I need to get thumbs of some tours' main pages.

[DangerDave]

- Open graphics program
- Go to Tour
- Press Print Scrn button
- Go to Graphics program
- Press ctrl-V
DONE!

Something like Photo Shop?

Is there anything that comes with Windows XP Pro that will do that?

Press Command, Shift, 4 and drag the curser around what you want to capture. The resulting .png file will be on your desktop.

You can capture a screen and open paint, and paste the screencapture there. Then save as whatever you like.
Hmmm should work anyways i think lol
Edit: or Photoshop, Paintshop and so on if you got those installed.

If you use FireFox this is a handy plugin:

It can take screenshots of the entire page, not just the visible area.

The graphics program I use for pasting and quick cutting is xat.com Image Optimizer

This is my favorite trick for that. When you hit "Command, Shift, 4" and hit space the cursor will become a camera and will take a screenshot of whatever window you click on. So you don't have to drag on a whole webpage if that is what you want. If you do want the whole screen you do "Command, Shift, 3"

I downloaded this and saved it in the Mozila folder. How do I use it? How do I access it? It's a .xpi file or something. |confused|

Hmmm...I'm sure there's probably a way to install manually. Did you right click the install button and use 'save as' or something?

If so, hit that page again...left click and FF will prompt you through the installation...much easier that way

Once installed, and FF is restarted...you should see the page save options listed when you right click on any page.

Given that, (as you noticed) MWSnap will not save entire pages, but instead only the viewable area...I just installed the FF extension and it seems to work great. Even saves in jpg format

I did that and got no prompt for installation.

I've got a folder of downloaded extensions, and you can install them from your hard drive without problems.

All you should need to do is double click the downloaded .xpi file, if no "Software Installation" box in Firefox pops up, right click on the file, click "Open With..." and choose Firefox (if it's not in the inital list you will have to click Browse, go to its installation directory, and choose firefox.exe).

What version of Firefox are you using?

WHEW! That worked, thanks! Windows said it couldn't open the file because it needed to know what program created the file, or something to that effect. I didn't realize I needed to "Open With" and choose Firefox. But it works now, thanks! Damn I hate computers |pcwins|
