How to Make a Screenshot for your Blog (PC Version):
An enquiry arrived this morning:
How do I get a screenshot for my blog? Is there a trick I need to know?
Fortunately “all you need to know” is not actually very much. So, the 15 second version:
1 - Get yourself a copy of Irfanview - a free image editing utility from here. Install it.
2 - Display the web page of which you want to make a screenshot. Make sure that that is the active window.
3 - Press <ALT><Print Scrn>. This will copy the active window to the clipboard.
4 - Start Irfanview.
5 - Do <CTRL><V> (i.e., Paste from Clipboard) to paste the screenshot of the active window into the editor.
6 - Edit down to the part of the screenshot you need.
7 - Save image. Insert into webpage.
Done.
(If you just do <Print Scrn> at step 5 not <ALT><Print Scrn> you will get the whole screen.)

Have you already done a Mac version, now that’s easy!
Command (apple key) + shift + 4
Then use the fancy target to grap the image you want, and your image is saved to the desktop. Easy peasy. Now, be a good kid and go buy a Mac!
“*grab* the image”
And is there a decent lightweight Mac Editor.
I’m not buying a computer from a bloke who dresses and looks like the Compere of Fingerbobs.
Can you recommend a Mac equivalent of Irfanview? It does things as complex as Lanczos resampling.

Hm. Maybe “GraphicConverter”.
But what is “Lanczos resampling”?
