QuoteOh God...  I'm a geek, but not a computer geek...  what is GIMP?

GIMP is the "GNU Image Manipulation Program". It's an image editing program that you can get for free at http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

That said, GIMP is a bit more complex because it can do a lot more than just take screenshots. If you've ever worked with Photoshop, you'll get the idea. If not, you'll be confronted with a lot of options. It's a fun program and comes in handy so I'd recommend you try it out just on general principle but it's overkill ONLY for taking screenshots, I think.

QuoteI just hit printscreen and size it in GIMP.

Does the Windows version automatically send the screenshot to GIMP or do you have to create a new document first (Edit -> Paste as -> New Image)?
First of all I must admit to being an idiot and not looking at the video.  Thank you for the link.   :)  I'll download that program shortly.

I get along with most everyone except authoritarians.   :jailbird:  That's been their problem all my life.   ;)
I do have to buy the pups some booties though.  Yes, we are some of the pathetic ones who actually clothe our animals.  I have no shame.

The eagle wanted the fish the osprey had. It got it shortly after this picture was taken.

I think they have plenty of snow in LumpyLand, too.

Ah perhaps, but I used to live in Hollis, Milford and Hudson a few years back. ;)
