print screen to jpeg?

Funny I've never had a prob with Paint but I've been usin' Paintshop Pro 7 for quite some time now and the same instructions work with that as well. Beer in my glass atm.

When you use a program such as FRAPS or Clipper to take screenshots, i'm assuming it uses the same code as Paint to save the image and would give the same quality?

Or am I wrong...

I use Gif's most the time. I own Adobe Photoshop 7. (Yes It's actually actually legal)

Not sure if they use the same code / technique as Paint or not, but Paint does seem to save pictures with a lesser quality than PSP or Photoshop.. from my experience anyways.

all I know is that yu press print screen then go to your ediitor and then go to edit and press paste as new image

[Beefy]

As far as I know, only PSP has 'Paste as New Image'.

Plus, you can simply right-click on the blank PSP window and Paste as New Image that way. :)

in GiMP it's File\Aquire\From Clipboard

You can also use Gimp it self to take screen shots, which is just a cary-over from it's Linux version :)

I don't understand that clipboard thing.....Dunno how to recall it, (bring it up to my attention

[minibubba]

using winXP?

type clipbrd into Run
for some reason they didn't see fit to give easy access to the clipboard in XP :shrug:

if you want to make your own shortcut, the exe is here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe

I'm at 98, can upgrade if I want to that, is is something to consider?

[minibubba]

doesn't 98 have a link to the clipboard in the start menu (start\programs\accessories\...)? I think it does, but it's been a while since i used 98 so i don't really recal :shrug:
