Hi Joe,

I was using Irfan View's capture feature for Guide charts because you
can set IV to just capture just the client screen. Now that I can
toggle Guide's full-screen mode, the following works well for me on XP sp2:

Set Guide to full screen, press Print Screen to copy to the
clipboard, Ctrl-V to paste it into your image editor. I don't know
if PhotoShop will accept a clipboard image, but it's worth
trying. It worked for me with 3 image editors I tried, and it's
pretty fast. I don't know what res the clipboard image is, but I'll
check and see. This should be faster than going the Extras|Make BMP
route, even if you have to use another intermediate editor to get to PS.

From now on, I'll go the Print Screen|Clipboard|Ctrl-V route and
copy directly into Irfan View.
