Screen shots ...

Post by Bessieres »


How exactly do you take these, with EiA or any other Matrtix game for that fact?

This is the way I do it:

1. Open any convenitent photo editor. Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or the Paint program supplied with Windows.

2. Open the EiA and make your computer screen show the image you want to take.

3. Press "Print Screen" on your keyboard. The key might say "PrtSc" or something like it.

4. Use ALT-TAB to bring up the photo editor you opened in step 1.

5. Select "Paste" in the drop down menu in the photo editor. This will paste the screenshot into the photo editor.

6. Save the screen shot to a location where you can find it. You may want to resize the screenshot and save it in a format that does not make the saved file too big to send over the internet (ie JPEG).

This process works for any game or item displayed on your computer screen.

I use roughly the same process as GSB does. However, I have two monitors, so taking a snapshot makes for a very large picture. If you use "alt-prnt scrn" instead of just "prnt scrn", it only takes a screen shot of the active window, not the whole area.
At LAST! The greatest campaign board game of all time is finally available for the PC. Can my old heart stand the strain?
