Guide to TAKING PICTURES and posting them
|

|
The Screenshot - Decide what your image is that you want to screenshot in your runescape browser.
-Press the Print Scrn/SysRQ button on your keyboard.
- Pressing the Alt and the Print Scrn/SysRQ buttons together will result in the current window screenshot, for a minimized screenshot if your browser is smaller.
- An alternative way to take screenshots is to download Howie's Quick Screen Capture.
- When you take screenshots with this program, you can make them all go to a certain folder into a certain format. Great for minimized window screenshots that you don't want to take the time to transform. Your Picture - Now that your picture is taken, you need to paste it in Paint.
- Save your picture in abbreviations (ie. stats.xxx, bank_09_02.xxx), DO NOT PUT SPACES. (xxx being filename if you can change it)
- Unfortunately, .bmp formats do not work well on the internet. You need to transform your image to a different format.
1) Have your Paint program save as a .gif, .jpg, or .png. (Usually compatible with Win ME or XP)
2) Download an image convertor, a good one is Jasc's Paint Shop Pro. Make sure your image is converted into a better format than .bmp.
3) In a minimized screenshot, Howie's Quick Screen Capture will automatically transform the image for you.
- Your picture should be smaller in file size after the transformation, and you do not want it to stretch the boards after you convert it.
- to post your screenshot go to a good FREE uploading site and click browse to select your screenshot!
