Almost up with you Slinky and I have proof!! How about you Doug, improved on your 4 metres yet??

If you want to post an image of your score press the "Print Screen/SysRq" button which is usually located to the right of the function buttons on your keyboard.( See attached image.) It can be in a slightly different place on your keyboard but it's usually roughly in that area.

This will then capture the full image of what is on your monitor screen.

Open paint and press "Control" and "v" which then pastes that image into paint.

You don't need all of it of course so click on "select" from your toolbar (a dotted rectangle) and with your mouse draw the rectangle around the bit you want. Then go to "edit" and select "copy".

Now start a new image (click on "File" and select "New")and if it's large you'll need to shrink it by clicking on "Image" and from the drop down menu select "stretch and skew" In the top half there reduce the horizontal and the vertical to "10"

Now you should have a small blank white canvas to paste your selection into. If it's still too big just repeat the stretch and skew until it is tiny. If you think it's too small don't worry because when you paste your selection it will come to the right size.

Then just save it as a jpeg and upload to AccyWeb.

If any of the doesn't seem to make sense let me know and I'll try to explain it better. I know what I'm doing but it's explaining it to other people that isn't always easy.

Thanks for that Willow, It is your fault I am late picking you up this morning, I've been wading through your instructions

Busman747 · 01-03-2005, 10:20

Oops, just a tad small would you say??

WillowTheWhisp · 01-03-2005, 10:21

Either I haven't explained very well or you haven't waded very well!

Busman747 · 01-03-2005, 10:23

Hopefully, this will be slightly larger..

If you've actually got your score in Paint the rest is easy. Just cut out the bit with the signpost on using the select button a(see attached) nd go from there. (edit/copy - create a new blank image, shrink it and then paste your copy)

If you've got PSP it's even easier.

It looks like this is the bit which isn't very clear so I'll try to explain it better.

When you open a new blank canvas you see a blank screen which more often than not is the same size as your "paint" window so you may not actually realise that this is a canvas which can be shrunk or enlarged. You need to make this blank bit smaller than the image you are going to paste before you actually do the pasting. You could correct it afterwards but that's messier and harder to explain than this!

So once you've got your paint window with a diddy white canvas up the top left corner then you can paste the image in it.

You shrink it by clicking on image and from the drop down menu select "stretch and skew" and then reduce the horizontal and the vertical dimensions in the top half of the box.
