Screen Shot

[kris]

What is the best way to get a screen shot graphic of a web page?

[JamesR]

I like this program:

ScreenPrint Gold [softwarelabs.com]

Correct me if I am wrong, but in Adobe Photoshop, can't you open the program, go to the website, hit Shift+PrintScreen, go back to Photoshop, and hit edit --> paste?

That assumes you have Photoshop, though :)

Paint Shop Pro has the best screen shot capabilities I've seen yet. Multiple shots, client area/window/full screen, with or without the cursor, and unlike everything else - it works on stuff like videos playing in windows media player. Still, you've got to cough up the dough or use the free trial for 60 days.

For PC users.

Striking - Print Screen - twice will capture the full desktop, start bar, side, top menus, etc. . .

Mivox can step in for Mac users.

to add to the last post... Alt+Print Screen sends a bitmap image of the window in focus to the clipboard where you can then paste it in your graphics program.

For Mac? Take a pick [download.cnet.com].

The free viewer Irfanview does nice captures; desktop, active window, client area of active window.

SnagIt (for windows) is pretty darn powerful and can even capture on-screen text (that you can't cut and paste) as text. Captures video too.

SnagIt [snagit.com]

joshie76,
Just downloaded the free version of Snag it and it works great. It is very easy to use and powerfull! Thanks for all of the input!!

For Mac, you can press command+shift+3 to take a PICT format capture of your entire screen, or press command+shift+4 and then "click & drag" a selection box around a smaller area of the screen... the PICT shots will be saved to your hard drive as "Picture 1" "Picture 2" etc.

No software needed, besides your system. :)

Then open the pict in your image editor and have fun!

<added>To take a picture of only a specific window (like your browser window), press command+shift+4+capslock, then click on the window you want to take the shot of...</added>

Is there any OTHER key combo you can use to get a Prnt screen with 98? I'm trying to get a screen shot of a menu that is only on control-tab (much like alt-tab). No matter what way I try it, I can't get a screen shot of it because it goes away on the next keypress - including print screen.

[joshie76]

You need a software program that can capture on a time-delay basis.

The one I recommended (above) can do this - you can download a copy with a temporary trial licence. The full licence is about $40. I'm sure some of the other tools listed here have this feature and are cheaper/free.

I am with Josh. I tried snagit to play with earlier this week. I had an interview where I was doing a presentation to a class. The handouts all were web pages. I remembered that I had snag it. Fired it up and in 15 minutes I had all pages done and printed looking very nice :).

ack! Paint Shop Pro has a delay option on the screen shot/snip. Cool. Thanks Joshie.

Under Windows there is no need to get any extra software. Just use press Ctrl + Print Screen, then open up MS Paint and press Ctrl + Paste. I think you could do this as early as Windows 3.1 :)
