Nice looking T/A Convertible

This is a nice looking bird.

I think the ASC versions are cleaner looking but this one was done nice. In this economy the price may be a tough sell.

Re: Nice looking T/A Convertible

It is not a big deal, click on the picture, make it as large as you can on your screen, then press "Printscreen" or "prtscn" it should be above your "Insert" button. If you have a quality program such as Corel Photopaint you can paste the screen image from the clipboard. Then highlight the area you want then make a new file from that. It takes a little time, but doable.

I did as John stated, when I seen the auction, after I couldn't grab them either. I haven't looked to see a better solution as that does take time.

By the way, your link your signature is wrong. You have:
http://ominpotent-goku.com/iroc/

I finally noticed it should be:
http://omnipotent-goku.com/iroc/

You have the i and n reversed.

In addition, your gallery has an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/goku/public_html/iroc/index.php on line 94
I wanted to review your collection.

Re: Nice looking T/A Convertible

THere are some screen capture programs where you can highlight an area on the screen and then save as a new file. It removes some steps, unfortunately the last time I used one was with Win 98...

Re: Nice looking T/A Convertible

John has a point.

IrfanView is a free software that I've been using as it's very lightweight and quick:
http://www.irfanview.com/

In the toolbar, go to Options - Capture/ScreenShot

Select the Capture area, select "Save captured image as file" and enter a file name format and destination directory. Note the hotkey (default should be CTRL +F11). Then, click on the Start button.

With this now running, you can open the eBay auction, select the picture, press CTRL + F11, then move to the next picture, press CTRL + F11. Repeat the process until finished.

All screen captures should now be saved, per file.

Much easier than manually doing a printscreen, pasting the image, cropping the image, saving the image, and then repeating.
