BlackCloud Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 how do you guys make your screen shots so clear.. mine are all blurry :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abysal Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 depends on how much you compress them, i usually compress about 80% for sceen shots , (setting 8 for jpeg in PS6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underscorebios Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 blackcloud, guess you might be using overcompressed jpg's or some other compressed format try using maximum quality when converting the image to jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastGodSupreme Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Originally posted by Blackcloud 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotbatman Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Originally posted by Blackcloud 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).

Captain Phatty Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 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.

dotbatman Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Originally posted by Blackcloud quality isint getting any better :( 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.

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.

BlackCloud Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 i saved it at 8... does the image apear better when its hosted on a webpage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotbatman Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Originally posted by Blackcloud 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 mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
