 |
|
I can�t recall the name of it.. something like Five Points or Five Corners.. anyone know it?
But you can take ANYTHING off the Internet or ANYTHING on your computer screen and make it into its own picture.. you just click and drag to cover the image.. and you have a new picture. |

"screen capture"
go to google, type 'screen capture' and 'shareware', and loads of demos and shareware screen capture programs will come up.
I don't know how useful they are anymore, though. A long time ago they were useful for doing things like screen dumps to the printer of CAD drawings, weather models, or screenshots of computer games in progress, etc. But I haven't used a screen capture program in years. |

Most western keyboards have a button labelled 'screen shot'.
Press that button and you hear the comp make a shutter type sound. You can then paste the screen shot into an art program like photoshop or even paint and do you what you like with it. |

Well what are you trying to print or save? If it's a website you just save it from the browser. |

I�m looking for the one where you can save anything whatsoever you want thats on the computer screen..
Not the entire screen.. but you select the selection of the screen that you want. One program worked great for me.. grr.. just can�t recall the name.. Five Corners, Five Points, something like that..
You can capture webcam images or text off of acrobat if you want.. basically anything thats visually on your screeen.. you just select that section and you have a perfect exact image replication of it. |

How do you do that? |
If you are using Internet Explorer, you go up to the menu bar, click 'file', scroll down to 'save' or 'save as'. It saves the whole webpage, including the images.
If you have Korean Explorer, go up to the menu bar, click '����(F)', and scroll down to '�ٸ� �̸����� ����(A)...' and click on it. |

Thats the program.. very good program as well!! Haven�t been able to download it off that site yet for whatever reason.. but at least equipped with the right name I should be able to find it out there elsewhere.
Interesting though.. 5 clicks refers to how many times you have to click your mouse to capture an image from start to finish which includes opening up the program. Now thats quick!!
The cool thing about the program is you can capture any and all images that are on your computer screen.. whatever they are.. locked photos that can�t be copied, webcam images, acrobat files, etc.. very good program!! |
