screen caps

[silverstar]

hi,
Ive just had a go at using IV for screen caps
I got the video feed up ok
I was saving by ctrl f11

this sent the jpeg files to my documents

..... but they came out like this....



thanks for any comment

Well, then ..? What's your question about this ?

if im taking a screenshot I just want the pic
say 80 k or whatever,
I dont want a pic of the surround frame !

In a screen shot, the window is just a big graphic. The title bar, borders, sliders, even the text are just part of that graphic. There's nothing that tells IrfanView which part of the window you're interested in. You'll have to crop the screen capture manually.

ITS a pity that you think theres no solution
cos if I go to

file
acquire batch scanning

the window comes up I hit capture still image
and this is the result



but having to do that procedure each time is a little
disconcerting

I thought I d solved it with the ctrl f11
but it seems not.

Have you tried "Foreground Window, Client Area"?

If that doesn't work then try FastStone Capture — which is more flexible. Version 5.3 is freeware.
