Forum:Screenshots

Guys, Anakin Skyobiliviator here again. I got a question: How to get a screenshot to a .jpg file? I don't have paint, photoshop or gimp. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 00:18, September 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * How do you even get the screenshot? Your question is extremely vague without a link or something. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 4 Sep 2011 5:31 PM Pacific
 * To get a screen shot on a computer, press the PrtSc SysRq button next to the function keys. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 00:38, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * I think what Fandyllic is asking is where you paste the screenshot after pressing PrtSc.


 * And after you have done that, you paste it into some program that can edit images.
 * Those 3 programs that you mentioned are the most commonly used.

 * Okay...uh...I normally paste on Microsoft Word. My computer is in such low memory right now that I can't install anything else, and I don't have Paint. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 01:26, September 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * What is the file extension of the screenshot? --
 * Uh...what? Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 02:20, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Is the image a .png, .bmp, .gif, or other file type? --


 * Um...none because I didn't save...? Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 03:40, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Can you send the word document to my [mailto:userdser@yahoo.com email]? I could probably extract the image, save it as a .jpg, and then send it back to you if you would like. --
 * My question is how to extract the image? I can always send you images, but that won't be convenient because the we got different online time. I just want to know how to do it myself. By the way, just to let you know, I got another computer with gimp. Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 03:52, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the extraction of images from word documents requires having "Microsoft Office Picture Manager". However, you could always send the document to your own email, log onto the computer that has GIMP, and press the PrtScr button. Afterwards, you would go into GIMP, and select "paste". GIMP should give you the option to save the file as a .jpg.
 * Ooh. But can it also work if I transfer it by the means of flashdrive? Mand&#39;alor Skyobiliviator The Devastator 04:46, September 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I forgot about transferring through a flashdrive. Yes. It should still work. --
