hey you!!! great to see you! And thanks so much for the link! I had a whhheeeee of a time with that site! Can't wait to go back!

I couldn't figure out how to save them either 'cause I wasn't able to open the image in a separate window and I was sooo frustrated and when LR heard me whining about it he calmly said, "Take a screen shot. Then open up the screen shot in photoshop and crop it." Geez... Well, lo and behold, it worked! He's really smart sometimes.

... so try that, ok? take a screen shot.. If I can help any way, let me know.. you can send me links to yours and I'll do it for ya if you want and email them back to you. I'd love to see yours!

wonder which one looks like me... hmmm... i hope it's not the one with the mustache

Hey Jimbo... I love that!

Great job!

The way you do capture the image is to make a screen shot. I don't know how to do that on a PC but on a Mac there's an option when you make a screen shot but only select part of the screen. When I do that, it saves a .png format image on my desktop. Then, I opened it in photoshop, saved it as a .jpg so I could post it here. Try that!

For now, I'll go capture your Dave Piccassohead and put it up here for you.

Thanks for playing!

Make more!

Oh ... this site is fun!

As you can see ... I have fun with this; but I'm not that creative.

I'm an XP user, and it took some playing around to capture the image, and I'm sure there's got to be an easier way ... and a way that doesn't come with the extra 'white space' around the picture ... but this is how I ended up getting the above:

Opened up the Paint program
Went back to picassohead and hit the "Print Screen/SysRq: key
Went back to the Paint program
"Paste(d)" the full screen image (Control V)
Used "Select" and "Cut" to get just the picture from the full screen shot
Opened a "New File" (in the Paint Program)
And "Paste(d)" again
Then saved it as a jpg

~whew~

Like I said ... i'm sure there was an easier way!

At this point, I can go back and fix the picture again with my photo program (it's not photo shop), but I wanted to show that a screen capture can be done on a PC running windows XP.

a way that doesn't come with the extra 'white space' around the picture

In "Paint" if you click the mouse away from the pic you should see two small dots in the middle of the right side and bottom side of the white area. Hover your mouse over either and the double arrow will appear allowing you to drag the white area toward the image. Alternatively going to the bottom right corner will allow you to drag both sides simultaneously.

forgetaboutit!
i tried but hey
still in blissful ignorance.

Post by **whimsicaldeb** » January 14th, 2006, 2:32 pm

I couldn't find the little 'dots' -- I could get to the arrows that makes it small/large ~ but no dots. So I tried it again the way I did it, but added an extra step... I pasted the cut portion from Paint into a new file on my photo program and then cropped it to create this...

~whew~

I think getting and using a mac would be easier! All that aside, Mr. PicassoHead is FUN and you people have made some great pictures!

Microbe ~ I found the dots! !daaaaahhhhh! They were right there in front of me, in plain site, the whole time. Only mine are blue, not black but ... wow ~ Soooooooooooooo much easier! ~ Thank YOU.
