How To Post Google Picture or Text to Forum

[wjbender]

Use Hypersnap or Snagit or some other screen grabbing utility to capture the part of any Web screen you want to post to our forum. Save the resulting file as a JPG. Now you can post as any other picture.
Here is an example

I have Snagit, but I usually do this :

1) Press PrtSc button at the top of your keyboard to capture whatever you are currently viewing on your screen
2) Paste it (Ctrl + V) into Paint, Gimp, or Photoshop
3) Crop however/whatever you want
4) Save as .jpg (takes up the least file size)

That works too -- Anyway that you can get it into one of the picture formats. JPG uses the least file system space

I just used postimage.org to upload it and chose the size of the png. At first I chose 1024x768 (for 17" monitors) and then thought you couldn't read it as well as yours, so I uploaded the 1280x1024 (for 19" monitors) size. I completely forgot that png is much bigger file size than jpg . Good catch, Bill . I fixed my pic from .png to .jpg. It really did upload/render much faster.

7 second limitation doesn't sound appealing.

That is for their animated GIF tool, which captures 7 seconds of onscreen video and turns into a small animated gif file The regular Gyazo tool has worked well for much of what I have posted thus far. Not very smooth for large screens or a lot of motion

Oh ok. I actually downloaded the TinyTake application, and it looks pretty well made like Snagit. My YouTube coding videos were made with SnagIt.

TinyTake is also great for snapping a screen, marking it up, and providing a link to the file. The company let's you post the image to their server for free hosting. I have been using it alot for marking up workflows and screenshots.
