You're welcome

Found a really easy one,

http://www.uploadscreenshot.com/

 

All you need to do is prntscrn and paste into the browser applet.

Create a login and you can even crop images (auto creates new one so original is still there)

Needs java though.

Now go start>all programs>accessories> paint (or keep a desktop shortcut to paint

Do edit>paste

Do file>save

 

I use many of the same functions you do, but in a different way.

 

Paint -> Start/run/mspaint/enter, or WinLogo key + r/mspaint/enter

Paste -> CTRL + V

Save -> CTRL + S

 

PNG may be a better format, but JPG is universally recognized in image editors and viewers.

Multiple conversions cause image quality loss, so I use JPG.

Dennis is a bit more upmarket than me as I still use Microsoft paint for my screenshots.

In case anyone would like to use the 'built in' screen capture and is unsure, here is a little guide.

 

XP

With your desktop on screen press PrtScn button once (found to the right of the F12 button)

Hazel, I too use that method a lot.

 

But I believe the reason tools are mentioned, is it would be a royal pain to use the "built in" method to do video screens, or even multiple snapshots staged 15 frames per second, or even once per second, as part of a compilation set to show say, something that takes more than a single screenie to demo.

 

Great for single screenies, not so great for the ones that require more!

Superfast stop adding posts for the sake of it. You last added something in June, now you add in September.

One great tool I have found:

ShareX

https://code.google.com/p/sharex/

 

Very easy to use. For a hoster I can recommend for example imgur.com.

I use Deskscan 1.38 (versions 2 suck) to make snapshots of the computerscreen. A small and neat little program. It allows the user to capture the entire screen or a user defined part of the screen. It saves the picture to one's computer harddisk.

i have this page

 

http://www.bilder-upload.eu/

 

the pic or internetpage you want --> press "druck (print)"

--> open paint or so

--> menu "bearbeiten (edit)"

--> submenu "einfügen (insert)"

--> then the image may cropping (what part of the pic you want actually show)

--> save your cropping pic to your harddrive --> with the file extension "jpeg" --> f.e.: "desktop1.jpg"

--> klick to the browser

--> just pick a service for image-upload f.e. after search with google (in my case http://www.bilder-upload.eu/)

 

[

 

--> A click on "durchsuchen (search)" for looking the image on your harddisk or usb you have saved

--> B click on "hochladen (upload)" , this take a moment

 

 

--> C choose your link-adress (take the one with "URL=..." --> the link-adress in the middle of this uploadservice

--> this link-adress can you paste in your forumspost

 

ok, done

hi fans
 
I have one more software to make pictures of the screen (preferably only the active window).
 
from german software company "Abelssoft" i have found a free tool called "Schirmfoto"
 
look here...

 

with this tool i can make a shot from only the single open window  --> no cut, no cover up of private or non relevant data longer necessary.

 

save in different formats, to share with social networks or print.

 

it integrates into the window bar and adds a new icon (camera). look to the red arrow on the screenshot, it is not visible on a pic.
