How to screenshot

[SimonBarsinister]

Press Ctrl and PrtSc (if you're working on a laptop press FN and PrtSc).

Open your paint program -- Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Paint.

Click Edit then paste.

You'll see a little box on the top left (see below, I've circled it), click that...pick a corner you want to start your pic, click and drag it down and around the image you want to post (if you make a mistake, just click Edit then Undo).



Click Edit, Cut. Click File, New. It will ask if you want it to be saved, click Don't Save (a new page will open up), Click Edit then Paste.

Click File then Save, type in the name you want your file to be followed by .gif (by adding .gif it will load faster). I generally save my screen shots to my desktop, easy to find and delete. Once you have your shot hosted you DO NOT have to keep it on your computer.

Once you have your image saved go to www.photobucket.com it takes less then 2 minutes to sign up for your free account.

Click Browse, find your file and open it then click Upload.


IMG (the last one) is used for posts. Simply click on the link next to IMG, right click then copy. Come to your post here and right click then paste.

Direct Link is what you would use for your Avatar, just copy the link and paste it in your profile.

Holding down the Ctrl key and then at the same time hitting the 'Print Screen' key will take a screenshot of your entire desktop, which can then be pasted into Paint or any other image editing program.
Using the Alt key instead of the Ctrl key will take a screen shot of only the program which is open on top of your desktop. That way you won't see your entire desktop (other games or programs running, taskbar, etc.) in the background.

Yes but for example you're playing AP and you want to screen shot the lobby as well as the little pop up payout window you can't just alt prt screen cause it will only show the little pop up window :help: LOL
