I've been playing around with this Constitution-Class bridge creator, but how can I save what I make? How do I take a photo of the browser?

Print Screen is your friend.

What Topher said. Just hit the print screen key, and that'll copy a snapshot of your screen to the clipboard. From there, you can paste it into Paint or Photoshop or whatever your art program is.

where does it save the snapshot to?

see, I can't read ... where do i find the clipboard?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on June 10, 2005 04:54 AM:
Well, the clipboard isn't really accessible. It's just a storage slot for anything that's been copied or cut. When you hit "print screen", an image is copied to the clipboard. To access it, you need to load up a program like Paint. Then all you do is go to the edit menu, select paste, and the image will be right there for you to edit and save to file.

Yeah, I figured it out. Go look upon my genius.

Print screen is quite a handy little tool when grabbing pictures from websites where the idiot creators have disabled right-click on the photos. Morons.

Or you can go through your temporary internet files and either copy or move the file. Of course, you'll want to rename it from the cryptic name it's given by your browser.

Or just look at the souirce code for the actual location of the online photo, unprotected by any page's code. Also, I've noticed that quite a few methods of disabling images saves don't work as well on Firefox as they do in IE.

It's damn worthless when it comes to .avi or .mpeg files, though. There are some video-files I can PrintScreen (like quicktime .mov files) but the other two are prickteasers.
I think I asked here before, is there any software that can take a snapshot that really takes in everything on the screen, even the avi-files?

The capture function built into PowerDVD works *.avi and *.mpeg files, at least for me. I've also heard that Hypersnap-DX or Fraps work, but I've never tried either. IIRC, you basically need something that is aware that your movies are running in a hardware overlay.

I've had some success with VLC and Printscreen/Command-3.

So Snay, what bridge did you create? Are there TOS bridge creators or any more variations on this theme. Not a bad little flash app.

Searching through my Temp files is a pain in the butt compared to pasting it into photoshop and saving. Especially since I usually have Photoshop open already.

Or... in IE, you can place cursor over the picture and wait until little menu on the left appears that lets you save, print or e-mail aftermentioned picture
