Kostas, When I was making a lot of step by step instructions for software I just used ctrl-prtscn to capture the exact image on the screen, then I'd paste it into the Microsoft paint program and edit it there. This is a tedious process but works well. Hope this helps, Rick -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu [mailto:owner-photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu] On Behalf Of kostas papakotas Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 6:07 AM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: making PS tutorials hi all! while new to PS7, it seems a good idea to make a tutorail on concert photos manipulation using PS. ( for all the fellow amateur photographers & listmembers of the band forums I frequent) Obvioulsy, judging from what the fans are capruting with theri PMS cameras, PS is a long way to go, but they will be getting aideas on photo enhacments ( removing scanned dust marks, etc) that an article is solely my job, but i need info on how to capture the PS tools appearence ( the crop sign for instance) for the purpose of intergrating in the "how-to" pics that would accompany such an article... could it be as easy as finding the signs .gif files somewhere in the pS directory? thanks, kostas =============================================== so... no matter what, CHEER UP MY FRIENDS!
