How Do You Take Screen Shots

I have seen screen shots of tables, particularly at Full Tilt and would like to take some ...... can anyone tell me how to do this?
I also play at Cake, Party Poker, PokerStars and Pacific Poker so advise on those would be great.
Thanks for you help.

Hit shift and the print screen button on the keyboard. Then open up paint and go to edit and paste. It will paste the screen shot in. then use the select tool and select the window and put it in the upper left corner. Resize the image to the size of the window and you are done.

I just use printscreen then paste to the MS paint program in xp, cut out the parts I don't want very easily and copy it to a new image and save. Pretty easy.

1) Hit the Print Screen button

2) Go into Microsoft Paint and press Ctrl+V

Edit: Damn picture attachment wouldnt load so I got double pwned

Amen!

And feel free to practice in this thread.

LOL @ the above, for those that get confused easy here are some very easy steps to follow for the easy to use program called MS Paint.



1. Press print screen on your Keyboard or if you have a window within a window press Alt and print screen together to capture the active screen.

2. Open MS Paint.

3. Press Ctrl and v simultaneously, or right mouse click and then paste.

4. Press Alt then f then a to open the save as box, or click File then Save as.

5. Select Jpeg from the drop down menu at "save as type" and name your file, and select save and choose where to save the file.

6. When ready to post make sure you go advanced or click post reply which automatically takes you to the advanced area and then follow steps 7, 8 and 9.

7) when your ready to add your picture to your post, scroll down towards the bottom of the screen where it says "Attach Files" and left click the "Manage Attachments" button. Another box will appear.

8) In this box, left click "browse". Another box box will appear, find your picture and double click it and the box will disappear and now there will be a location listed to the left of the browse button.

9) Left click upload and your picture will upload as part of your post when you save your post.

*****If you get alot of white around your screen shot, at the botom right corner of the white area there is a very small dot, point to the dot and when your pointer changes to a double ended arrow drag it to remove the excess white area from your screeny.*****

Good luck and I hope this makes things a little easier for you.

Hi, do need some more help in uploading a file - I am trying to follow Zorba's instructions, but am getting a message:
"The Dimension limits for this filetype are 620 x 280. We were unable to resize your file so you will need to do so manually and upload it again. Your file is currently 1280 x 1024".
Thanks for your assistance !!

Once all the excess white has been removed, from the "Image" menu in MS paint select "Stretch/Skew". Enter the same value less than 100% in Horizontal and Vertical (like 50% to make it 640x512 or one half the original size)

i know others already answered. but this is how i learned.
