8 years of photoshop experience and i don't know how to do screen captures. Can someone tell me how? Or is there just a 3rd party software?

I've been using PS since version 2 and I learned this only last year [bustagut] [bustagut] . Welcome to the club of late comers.

Very tedious process - Whenever you see something on screen you want, PRESS THAT PRINT SCREEN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO COPY THE SCREEN IMAGE, Open new image file in PS and press CTRL + V. Done [bustagut] [bustagut] .

Hope this is what yer after ;\

[righton] Right on Vee! [bustagut]

It's also worth mentioning that pressing the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard copies the screen capture to your system clipboard. I mention this 'cause often times I forget that I have something on the clipboard that I wanted to 'print' but before having the time to do so, I use the clipboard again only to discover that my image is gone. [confused] Terribly frustrating when it's a web page that you didn't bm ... if you get my drift! I now keep a shortcut to my clipboard on my desktop!

I'll have to look for it, but there's an app that allows you to use several clipboards at the same time...

How do you clear your clipboard? If I copy a couple screen shots, my system gets sluggish.

pdog182, I run with Windows XP and, although I have never had to "clear it" for sluggish performance reasons, I could easily do so by opening up the clipboard and going to edit/delete! Another good reason to keep a shortcut to it on your desktop!

But, you do indeed make a good point! Your clipboard will hold an image until you've closed every software program that you have running or you manually delete it! 8[

B7 Erik, I've heard about that multiple clipboard thingy! I understand that WindowsXP has the capability of running something similar and I confess that I haven't had this O/S long enough to have delved deeply into that function. But from what little I've seen of it, it appears to be too complicated for my simple needs... ;\

Huh? Wendy modest??? Simple needs? Where's your pride girl? Only the best is hardly good enough for you!!!

good idea Wendy re the short cut thingy........ now how he he he I mean not how but where is it?
my system get's really sluggish and I would reboot 4 times per day at least but then I do have open mail, ps, IR and dreamweaver all day long and the files are always over 50MB ;\ yeah okay I am running 98 not XP but hubby is too busy at the moment to put it on but at this reboot rate I am going to have to just put my system up on the bench and say "do it" [upset] ha ha ha
I know I have digressed here a bit but just want to ask........ does anyone else have to reboot as often as I do? ;\ or is 98 really that memory bad

Sue, the shortcut to your clipboard, as I can best recall, can be accessed through your Windows Start button. I believe that it's listed under "Accessories". Otherwise, check your Windows/System or System32 folder!

As for your sluggish performance and re-booting problem, I'm not a techie, but I have noticed that keeping IR open (unless you're using it constantly) just isn't worth it on an "if come" basis. This program definitely seems to be a REAL RAM HOG!!!

Just my experience...
