How to capture images from the web came up in the Winter '09-'10 is underway thread after I posted images of the upcoming forecast.

p.s. I have no idea how to do the snapshot thing on the web so you will have to make do with the link.

HoverSnap. It's a great tool.

Windows Vista Home Premium or higher comes with a Snipping Tool that allows you to do the same thing as HoverSnap. However it does not have the ftp upload feature (that I know of anyway).

After you capture a snip, it's automatically copied to the mark-up window, where you can annotate, save, or share the snip.

I have Windows03.

I can hold down the 'Alt' key and hit the PrtScn button just to the right of the F12 button. Paste in an application, then save as an image, which can then be attached to a post.

Do you mean Windows 3.0? If you are using 3.0, then what do you have for a computer? I don’t think that there are to many people using that OS today.
The system requirements for Windows 3.0 when it came out in 1990 was a 8086/8088 processor or better, 640K conventional memory, though 1 MB of extended memory was recommended, Hard disk with 6-7MB of free space, and CGA/EGA/VGA/Hercules/8514/A graphics and an appropriate and compatible monitor.

Try Jing. It's an awesome tool to capture still pics and video of your screen. The basic version is free.

I down loaded and installed the program and it is really neat, I mean "REALLY NEAT".
Below is a short video I took while on MSN Money to see how it works:

I love it. I use it a bunch when I need to do demo's for work. It is a great tool.

Once you have captured the area that you want, click on the copy tab as shown below. Then go to the thread that you are replying to and paste it in the reply box.
To paste it, click your right mouse button and then click paste. This will put it inside the reply box.

I hope this helps. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining things so if you need more instructions, let me know.

Yosemite Sam · 10-20-2009, 02:10 PM

SIKSUKR, The instructions that I gave you will not work. You need to save what you captured and then upload it to Screencast.com.
To do that you need to setup an account with them and they will show you how to upload the file. They will give you an image code to paste into your post.
I made a file on my hard drive called "JING" and save all the captured images to it.

Maybe hazelnut can walk you thru it sometime.

hazelnut · 10-20-2009, 02:42 PM

I am assuming you wanted to learn how to upload a photo from the desktop to put into your post?

hazelnut · 10-20-2009, 02:55 PM

Here is a short video created to show you how to put an image into your post as I did with my previous post.

SIKSUKR · 10-21-2009, 12:21 PM

OK, here's my first try guys. I did this one by saving this apparently to my desktop. At least that's where I found it. I need to send it to a different folder. I'm getting it slowly. Thanks.

SIKSUKR · 10-21-2009, 12:37 PM

Second try.I took this off my desktop background and made a folder in my documents and found it there.This is fun!
