OT: Saving Screenshots From Clipboard

[Karim]

Ok. I've captured a scoreboard I wanted but I can't save it as a functioning .jpg, .bmp or anything other than a .clp file. I can save it with any extension, but none that is recognizable in MS Paint or Paint Shop Pro.

I'm using XP Pro. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

To answer myself and add to my post count:

Don't save from clipboard viewer. "Paste as New Image" in either MS Paint or Paint Shop Pro and then save into the desired format.

Seems counter intuitive to me...

<sigh>

Just realized it was in the General FAQ in the reference thread...


It's been that type of night/morning... :rolleyes:

A better way of taking these screens shots is a free program called HoverSnap. Its free, and you can find a link on the TechTV website where it was a "Free download of the day" some weeks ago.

Thanks, OldGiants.

Here's a test screenshot since I didn't see a testing forum:

Ok, a little too big. Better to link than actually post...
