Need screen captures from CSI. Can anyone help?.. (1 Viewer)

[todd s]

I am making covers for my episodes of CSI I recorded and I need a picture from the last few episodes. Can anyone help? I went to the website. They have great pics from each episode. But, the site is all set up with Flash 5. So everytime I try to right click and save a pick. It brings up "about macromedia flash 5".

Thanks!

If you don't mind putting in some effort, [Ctrl-PrintScreen] will capture your desktop to the clipboard. You can then use a graphics program like PaintShopPro and paste the clipboard to a canvas. From there, you can manipulate the image anyway you like before you print it.

The print screen didn't work. Can anyone capture 1 or 2 pics from the episodes "Primum Non Nocere" until this weeks episode??

Thanks!

Ctrl+PrintScreen does work. Are you not running Windows? What was it that didn't work?

 

[todd s]

Gordon, yes I am using Windows. Where can I find the Clipboard? Thanks!

The Clipboard is an internal Windows buffer that the Ctrl+PrintScreen puts stuff into. You need a paint program to get the image out of the Clipboard. You can use Windows Paint in a pinch, but PaintShop Pro is more powerful. Once you've put the image into the Clipboard, open the Paint program, and from the menubar, Edit->Paste, or Ctrl+V, to paste the image onto the canvas. From there you can cut out the bits you don't want, resize the image, whatever you want, before you print the image.

I'm not sure Ctrl-PrintScreen does anything different than PrintScreen by itself. Alt-PrintScreen captures the current window, which might make it a bit easier to work with.

I always confuse the two too. I just hit CTRL-ALT-PRTSCN each time just to cover my bets. Same thing for command prompt booting... Is it F5 or F8? I dunno so I always hit both. =)

Gordon,
It worked! Thanks for all your help!
