Instructions:

2) To cap a desktop:
For PC: Press "Print Screen" (prt sc) button.
For Macs: Shift+Apple+3.
3) Open your graphics program-o-choice.
4) Press CTRL + V or go to "edit & paste.
5) Save image as a JPEG.
6) Upload the screen cap to your image server.
7) Post your cap in YOUR LJ along with these instructions.




As you can see, I don't like a cluttered desktop. I took the background photo on my last trip to Ringworld St. Louis.

Looks really nifty from that angle.

Didn't know if my PrtScrn button would do anything in SUSE Linux, but know that there's a little utility to do the same. Then checked out The GIMP (image editing software) and found it's got a utility built into it: File | Acquire | Screen Shot. I've gotta check this program out further. Thanks for the nudge!

I hear good things about The GIMP, but I've never tried it. I hope to see your desktop here on LJ soon!

I liked that meme, but at work got lost down a rathole (apparently a multiple-clipboard utility from an old version of WordPerfect; never did find a suitable graphics program either, and not supposed to download stuff). I always wondered what "Print Screen" did, and now I have a clue. My desktops at home (2 mac & one XP) are all too messy to share.
