Some Simple but Useful Techniques:

If you want a super simple method of screen capture, simply type aviary.com/ in front of the URL of the page you wish to capture. This will capture the page you are viewing in .png form. Some fonts are changed, but the overall quality of capture is good, though limited in size to about 11 MB. As you can see, many image manipulation tools are available for online use.

To display the tools available to work with the captured image, I captured the Aviary.com image using the free Screengrab! add-on for Firefox. If I had used only Screengrab, the image would look like this in .png format:

Both were set to capture only the picture showing on the screen, but I know that Screengrab will capture the whole page if that is selected. If one wished to edit it, they would need to do so on a photo-editor that will work with .png images.

Jing is also a free screen capture app, but I have not used it. The project has been ongoing for two years and a Pro-Version is now being produced for it. Techsmith produces Snagit and Camtasia, both with screen capture and manipulation properties. I was lucky enough to "Snag" a free copy of Snagit 7 when a newer version was released and Techsmith gave away a free copy of the old software as a promotion for their new Snagit 9.

Although I am certainly missing some good, free software that is out there, the apps listed have served all the needs I have ever had for screen capture. Enjoy.

Peace, Doc

	puzzle发表: The differences of the "aviary method" are to get a much larger view of the site, not only the screen, but also the parts to scroll and no need to open the copy to another graphic programm - because I am so used to put the "print"-key and to my graphic programme, it took some time to find out the possibilities to work on the image as "aviary" does, so it wasn't faster at first ... maybe sometimes I will do it the puzzled-way: to take a quick aviary-shot stored of more of the site than before to work on it later as usual ^^ 8 月 27 日
	Just Mandy发表: I use Chrome Doc, it's so light, in the toolbar section .... that in fact there isn't one! Lots of people I know use Snagit, And rave about it, but I wouldn't use it enough to, warrant paying bug bucks for it! Oh Good morning Doc! 8 月 27 日
	PsychologistCynical发表: See how well I helped by giving out information? I got Jade to tell us the easy way to accomplish the task. I do like "Screengrab!" as a gadget for Firefox. A tiny icon sits in the tray of the browser and saving a page is a matter of only clicking it once and selecting whether you want the visible portion of the screen or the whole page. But when I stop to think about this, Jade was teaching me how to do assorted things since I began blogging here. You should probably listen to her. Peace, Doc 8 月 27 日
	Deborah发表: Well now isn't that handy? And I will have to try Jade's technique as well. As a gamer in the medieval game of Evony, often players will post screen shots on our forum for examples and I have often wondered how they do it. Duh? Guess there are lots of ways to skin a cat, however unlike dedermatizing said feline, I may actually try this. Thanks Doc, you always seem to give me what I need when I drop by. Perhaps we are having a little synchronicity going on. Blessed Be 8 月 26 日
	Just Mandy发表: I do love a gadget! But I do what Jade does! 8 月 25 日
	Jade发表: Geez, all I do is hit the "print screen" key and open up "paint" & hit Paste. No software needed, all on the computer already. :) 8 月 25 日
