how do you guys make your screen shots so clear.. mine are all blurry :(

photoshop, save for web, jpeg, I try to keep it at 85 quality or higher.

you can see the size in the lower left corner as you play with it. the blur is good so smooth it out if you have to use a ****ty quality.

so yeah...

I'm hungry... hey you people, go find that webview **** in XP. Tell me what system files contain it. :)

hey when i take a screen shot how do i paste it in photoshop? sorry im such a newbie

hit print screen, open photshop, hit ctrl-n, enter, ctrl-v. to save it as a .jpg, you must flatten the image first, so click Layer, then flatten image (near bottom of list).

Use the "Print Screen" key to screenshot, then open Photoshop. Do a File -> New, and the image should be already set to the size or your screen. Create the image and the select Edit -> Paste, and you have your screenshot.

ha! i can type faster than you!:D

are you saving it as a .jpg? i know you went over this already, but just to make sure, what quality are you saving the image as (num between 1 - 10)?

one thing to keep in mind also is that Photoshop might dispay the image at 66% -zoom. to see it at 100%, hold down ctrl and space (your cursor will show a little plus sign) and click on the image to zoom in.

P.S. I need some ideas to spice up that wallpaper, too much blank space.

i think it would look cool if you stuck something under the scanlines, then made the layer with the scanlines partially transparent.

i saved it at 8... does the image apear better when its hosted on a webpage?

it shouldn't make a difference. did you try the "zoom in"?

also, are you just viewing it in photoshop, or have you tried opening it in the microsoft image viewer?

at the quality (8) you are using, it should look great..i save mine at a 6, and it seems to look ok to me. no matter where you view it, just make sure it's showing you the image full size, 100%

if you want, e-mail the image to me and i'll take a look

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
