how to take a screen shot

everyone im having trouble taking a screen shot of the table im at, or copying the HH for that matter.

Look here. Screenshots for dummies

You should also use the tools to clean up the excess stuff you capture to leave only the full view of you table or HH.

After saving as instructed in Pigpen's link, open my pictures then open the screenshot and use the crop tool to cut away the excess. To make it easier always position your table or HH in the top left corner of the screen while you're playing. Then you only have a couple of clicks to edit the picture down to the room and not show all your other icons etc. that are on the screen.

Make sure you show the entire room or HH so that if needed the guys doing the work can confirm the shot with the site you were at if needed. Cut it off and you stand a chance of not getting credit. They're doing a tough job and posting the picture right sure can save them some headaches.

I just looked at the link and this was missing. If you hit "Alt-Print Scr" you get only the active window instead of your whole desktop. That way you usually don't have any cropping to do.

thanks guys

NP, That's what CC is all about! Helping and having fun

What does HH mean, please? (apologies in advance for the n00b question)

HH = Hand History

Thanks, I guessed one H would be hand, but I couldn't think what the other H would be

Perhaps it would be AI for you for 'and 'istory, depending on whether you have a cockney accent or not.

Haha your jokes really brighten up my day pigpen (and hopefully those of a lot of other forum members, too!)

Its embarrassing to ask this, but I still cannot seem to be able to upload my screen shots onto Cardschat. I do everything that AI explains in "Screenshots for Dummies" and I still cannot get the damned image to upload. I am on a MAC computer, so maybe that has something to do with it?
The problem I am having occurs after I choose the file I want to upload. I click upload and I am told something along the lines of "please wait, uploading file(s)..." That message stays there for hours on end, and my files never get uploaded. I know that I am doing everything right because when I know it is the wrong type of file, the attachments window immediately notifies me.
Any suggestions would be amazing....!
