Rob Murray Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I'd like to make some mods CMMOS compatible (DIY) & I need some help. I know how to take a screenshot (Printscreen key then minimize CM) but I don't know how to bring the screenshot up using Microsoft Photo Editor (to resize it). I know that using Irfanview the command is Ctrl & V but I don't want to download Irfanview if I can do the same job with Microsoft Photo Editor. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Please & thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakovski Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 MS makes a nice little app just for resizing. It's one of their power toys here. It handles batches nicely, but only resizes to a few presets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Trust me, Irfanview would be well worth the 874.5 KB download. Plus, you could take several screenshots without having to exit the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 In Irfanview it is Ctrl & F11 as the default. Of course you can name your folders and take loads of pics , resize etc, annotate all wthin Irfanview. I found the biggest help recently was the gamma correction as some screen shots are quite darkish. I am of course biased to the fine Austrian who has been developing and updating it for free these last 5 years or so.[and such a tiny file!] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEY Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Any paint program should have an EDIT section, this is usually where the PASTE command options are. So I'd suggest looking there and you should also find there what the hot keys are for doing this procedure. If you get my drift you need to paste a screen capture into what ever graphic program your using. If your using the windows print screen method, you get to save only one capture at a time, so you have to save that capture before taking another one or it'll get overwritten. Also note that using the copy command will also overwrite any previous screen capture. If you want to save multiple screen captures, you'll need third party programs like the ones mentioned above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Okay so after I hit the print screen key, how do I go about saving the screen capture (what keys do I hit)? I still want to try to use MS photo editor as I don't quite trust some of these Irfanview mirror sites (may end up getting more than I bargained for :eek: ) Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I think you will find sites like www.tucows.com, and www.zdnet.com extremely highly respected. I see that 3777 people downloaded Irfanview from zdnet last week and 2.6 million copies in total so far from just them. And Tucows ....... "Introduction to Tucows The original software download site, Tucows.com, earned its name early on for being the first to provide software on a "freeware" or "shareware" basis. We currently host more than 40,000 software titles (all tested, rated and reviewed by our own editorial staff of software experts) through our international network of more than 1,000 partner sites. [more] If you only use Irfanview for the capture it is still excellent .............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEY Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'd forget about hot keys for the moment. So your in say, cmak and ya tap the print screen key to save a screen shot, you'll then have to go into Microsoft Photo Editor and find the EDIT section, in there you should see a PASTE option with more then likley sub-options I don't know want it would be referred to in this program, I know paint shop pro I use "paste as a new selection". You can use the windows paint program also, just tap print screen and then go into the windows paint program, then go to the EDIT section then click on PASTE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junk2drive Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Rob, I sure would appreciate some CMMOS 4.05 mods for CMAK and I think other people would too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
