Re: How do you make a screen print image into a jpeg for uploading as a photo?

I tried to put a screen print image, (a webpage) which would transfer onto my clipboard as a temporary file, into 'my photos' so that I could upload it as a jpeg onto 'my page' 'photos' and could not make it work. In Windows XP, can one access the temp file from say Adobe Photoshop, or similar? Then it would work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello jsb!

Not sure that I can help, but what file type has the screen print saved as?

I did not know, so I googled 'windows screen print file type' and I got this.....

.......so I shall follow the instructions using Microsoft Paint, which I hope will sort this out. I shall post my results.

I was trying to upload an image of BBC iPlayer Home Page, to let the overseas bloggers see what may become possible for them to use, if the BBC/Google/YouTube project gets off the ground, as it were, onto the web.

I would imagine that Spring/Autumnwatch would have them raving!

MarJus, thanks for prodding me in the right direction,

jsb.
