screenshots

[rjw1975]

I searched the forums and can`t find the answer to this. I just set up a photobucket account so I can post screenshots, the problem is when I take a screenshot in trs2006 it`s a TGA file which is not supported by any photo sharing site I`ve seen so far. How do I convert it to a JPEG file so I can post pics? Or is there a way to take the screenshot as a jpeg file? I want to be able to post pics not just links,the best I can do now is post a link to a picture folder on msn and it`s kind of a pain to see the pics.

You need to download a graphics manipulation program to do so. There are some free ones like Gimp and Irfanview.

How hard are they to use? I`m not exactly a computer genius.

They are fairly intuitive. Gimp may be too much at the start if you are just interested in changing the format, the second a bit simpler.

Ok,thanks. I just read reviews for Irfanview and I`ll try that one. The only thing I want it for is to post here and to put the pics into my windows photo gallery. Do I need the plug ins and add ons for it as well? The website shows one spot to download the program and another for plug ins

Your TS09 saves as .jpg.

Thats good to hear, I don`t know why they used tga`s, it seems like they`re not compatible with anything. So, I got the pics changed to jpeg, put in my folder in photobucket and posted on here but I can`t get it to post the pic, just the link to it. I know it can be done from photobucket because if you right click on screenshots on here and look at properties most of them are from photobucket or imageshack.

My question. I use ImageShack. I know how to post but which section do I click on for the image to appear on the forum. I always get a link in which you have to click on to see the image. How do I get the image to appear without having to click on the link? Thanks.

Use the code to make the image appear directly on the forum.

Does Snagit work?

Ok, finally got it to do what I wanted, thanks! I did notice something a bit backwards though. If I use the link,when I`m typing the message the pic shows up in the reply box until I submit it and then it just shows the link and when I do it with the img code it`s the exact opposite.
