This was recommended to me by Trevor Chinahand. It took me a little while to finally lock in my Serial Number, but their support section were very helpful - if a bit slow. It's a great little piece of kit, which enables you to snip out all or part of your current screen quickly and easily. It costs A$15.00 Just Google Abbyy Screenshot Reader and choose your download.

I have a 'grab' facility on the Mac. I thought most computers have them. ____________________ http://dddioramas.webs.com/ 11 + 2 = 12 + 1 |

They do, Pete. In Win 7 it's a bit of a business. This thing is quick. I do a lot of it (when I get the time), on my blog and it will make life much easier. I just wanted to acknowledge Trevor's pointing it out to me. ____________________ Max Port Elderley |

Yes. It's a real business, isn't it? With ABBYY you just click on the corner of your desired shot and drag a box around it. Then save it. Simple. I've done some tutorials on my blog using that system and it took me forever to do them. It's OK for one offs, though. ____________________ Max Port Elderley |

Two clicks on the Mac. One to bring up the Grab Utility and the other to save the selection. Useful for note taking but the definition isn't too hot. (That can probably be adjusted but it's not important to me). ____________________ http://dddioramas.webs.com/ 11 + 2 = 12 + 1 |

I've always done . . . Ctrl/PrtScn > All Programs > Accessories > Paint > Ctrl V > Save As > PNG > Pictures > Edit > Crop etc . . . That, to me is a bit of a business, compared to ABBY I've never heard of a "Snipping Tool" Maybe I don't have one, or no one thought to mention it . . . And I don't have a Mac Thanks, anyway Trevor. I appreciate you telling me about it. I am a bit sorry I mentioned it. ____________________ Max Port Elderley |

I use their ABBYY Finereader, [free version] which is very useful. It allows me to scan text in any language and converts it to an editable Word file, which in turn I can put through a translation site or edit to change format, style or content.

That's not a bit of a business that's a hell of a business. The snipping tool is under All programs > AccessoriesThanks, anyway Trevor. I appreciate you telling me about it. I am a bit sorry I mentioned it. I'm sure that there will be lots who appreciate your mentioning it Max. It's whatever program does for you.  |

Warren, the Snipping tool , just tried it & yes OK and locked into the desktop toolbar. Still require another program to edit the photo - I use Fast Stone. Max, does ABBY edit the grabbed screen shot? ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

It just crops it as far as I can see, Sol. Re-sizing would be a different matter. ____________________ Max Port Elderley |
