Yes you did, and I appreciate it ..
VURRY VURRY much.
Dare I ask:
how do I know if I have Paint?
Looking, looking ..
Checked my Programs .. nope, don’t
see Paint.
OOOPS .. Oh MY ..I DO HAVE PAINT! Never
knew I did .. there it is in Dell Accessories.
I don’t think I’ve ever used it, certainly not
on my radar screen currently.
Well .. XTRA SPESHUL thanks for provoking
this discovery. Never knew you could use it
for pictures or web pages.. told ya I was
so non-techie when it comes down to the
nuts and bolts and these intracacies. They
give me such a headache.
So I can drop pictures in there and modify
and add to them them and save to Photobucket ?
Wow .. whole new world ... THANK YOU!
Yes ... when I’m at the FR manage blocks
page and right click, there’s no properties
to save for a My Pictures I can then upload
to Photobucket.
I’ve been trying all kinds of ways to save it,
and short of a screencap saved to a Word doc,
which cuts it off mid stream, I can’t save it
from that page.
Any ideas ?
Ooh, I get to play when I get on the puter! (Can’t do a thing on the phone) thanks to all for the tips!
Yup.
You can use Photoshop or Paintshop but for this Paint is enough.
Copy images, paste into paint. Move ‘em around.
When you are done, note you may have “extra page” in there.
That will be a gray area around your image. You need to get
rid of that.
You should have a left-right control on the bottom and an
up-down control on the right. Move all the way to the lower
right corner. Your image will be opposite, at the upper left
corner.
Hover over the lower right corner and get a movement arrow,
drag that up to make the page match the size of your image.
Save as whatever you like, jpg works well.
Magic!
Oh.. I left out a step. The first one!
Get to the screen you want, mash “prtscn”.
This copies whatever is on your screen.
Paste this into Paint or the image manipulation app of your choice.
But you knew that.
Going in my ‘Freeper Keeper’ file. Thanks for the good advice for the non-techie.
Got it .. saved it .. will refer to it often.
But.. did it work?
My computer is old, so it may be software that doesn't have the features newer models do. When I look at the file, there's 2 separate images labeled image001.png and image002.jpg.
If I had the right images, does Paint allow you to upload 2 at a time for a complete accurate image ?
Open up a blank Paint page
Drag the corner dot as big as you can.
Hover at the center of the bottom border.
You will find a movement arrow. Drag it down.
Do that again and again.
Now you have a big blank page.
Paste your image in there.
Drag that corner arrow down some more, make some space.
Now you'll see that there is space beneath the first image.
Paste another (having snatched carefully where you wanted) image and drag it where you want it. Then save the whole mess.
You have to play with it some.
Don't save during this process, keep working on the same image.
I'm not explaining this very well, huh?
You’re doing great! It’s I who has a problem
with my brain that doesn’t grasp written
directions well .. I learn from watching more
than reading. My particular quirky dyslexia.
But I will definitely try it when my patience
and time are restored ... THANK YOU!
Is there a way to look at ALL - and I mean ALL - of one’s postings?
Yes .. and it takes forever ..
Person’s name in the search box up
top .. scroll down and put users in the
search box and search.
Sometimes FR is malfunctioning, and
you just can’t get users search to work,
but keep trying.
then continually hitting control/end,
and clicking next page at the bottom of
each page.
All chronological.
This is yours
