Hello Truman

Paint Shop Pro has a nifty function to take a snapshot of the screen by
pressing a hotkey/mouse button. This saves as .bmp which can then be
converted to a smaller jpg,gif or png for the web.
You can crop and scale this image in PSP or Photoshop/Fireworks etc to get
rid of the Windoze border menus etc.

I did this with the images of the lunar eclipse looking back at the earth
from behind the moon for the Jan and Jul eclipses this year. Everyone
remember those??

A good image size for the web is about 5-10k for thumbnails and about 30k
for larger images. Any bigger and people tend to stay way from that page as
they take too long to download.

Cheers

James

Does the make BMP function still work, Bill, there was some talk of that
many moons ago?? I can't remember.
