I have a single frame from a YouTube video that I'd like to capture and edit using my PhotoShop Elements. I've tried uploading the capture to PhotoShop, but apparently I don't have the software I need to get the screen print into a format that can be read by PhotoShop.
I downloaded the video to RealPlayer, but still don't know how to get the image into PhotoShop.
Can someone help me with this?
It'll make a dynamite sign!
Okay, create a blank document. Do your screen capture (print screen, right) then go to Photoshop and hit Control + V (paste) and there ya go!
Works great in regular Pshop, should work well in elements too.
1.) When the scene is where you want it to be, hit the PrtScn button to capture the screen.
2.) Open New in Photoshop. It should open up the same resolution as your monitor.
3.) Paste the screen capture from the clipboard.
4.) Crop the image and proceed.
View it [the particular frame] full-screen at the highest resolution that you can [Media Player Classic will do nicely] and push Ctrl + Print-Screen... this will copy a bitmap screen-capture image to your clipboard.
Paste that into photoshop and you’re done.
I can do it for you if you can’t get it worked out. I use Photoshop every day.

Post a link to the You Tube video along with the time the frame appears.
Firefox add-on called FireShot.
GOT IT! (That was way tooo easy!) Thank you so much!
I’ve virtually never succeeded in getting “Print Screen” to work at all.
That would be wonderful.
For basics, just use a standard Prnt Scr in windows.
Then save as just about 1 of a dozen choices that will be there in Paint. I always prefer jpg and can use that in nearly any graphics program.
A great free program is paint.net (just go to google and type in paintdotnet). They have dozens of free addons for it. Nearly as strong as Photoshop but free!
Also consider using Firefox as your browser and there are tons of great screen capture addons available. Many will let you work right from the capture program to save as a particular format of your choice.
Remember also to use “resize image” and pump up the resolution to like 500 or 600 DPI (at least) in what ever you are saving it in. Photoshop Elements, Paint.Net both have this (I believe) under the “Image” file menu’s. This will make a difference in image quality (prevents jaggies) on the web or when you enlarge the file to print it out.
This is easy, and good luck.

The screen capture has to be placed in whatever graphic image editing software you have, in your case Photo Elements. After doing your print screen command, go into Elements, open a new document, and either go to the pulldown menu “edit” and then “paste,” or you can use the keyboard command “control V” which does the same thing.

2:19 Artwork for an anti-ObamaCare poster.
I can see where that’s going - and I like it!
NO MORE DR. UTOPIA! OBAMACARE IS A FRAUD!
I made mine by loading the photos onto a CD and taking it to Kinkos along with $35 bucks. They made it fit onto a piece of foamboard and voila - I had a cool sign.
That’s what I’ll be doing. Now to figure out how to make the captions...
