dayna Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Now Dayna! Why am I not suprised! Thanks! The cool thing is that the image is difficult to rip, I couldn't even copy and paste/save to show on here (no doubt I will manage when I get time to try) Right, off to Taekwondo! Rhi how did you manage it in the end? That's the problem I'm having with the screen shot I've found of Edward for you and it's so frustrating! Ryan (my bf) has told me to try copy and paste the screen shot into Gimp instead of Paint but I don't think that'll work! Enjoy Taekwondo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsanddaffodils Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 They gave me a png code to use. But it only seems to work on Deviantart. Screen caps are tricky! I am sure that somebody put instructions for this on the LFCC forum when they were looking for Stargate screen caps. Here it is: Someone called 1 of 2 on the michael Shanks topic in LFCC This is what he said. Correct. The reason you are getting a black screenshot is because Microsoft have changed the way that an image is displayed on the screenusing media player. With WMP11 (also versions 9 and 10 I think - I can't recall) the image is displayed on an overlay. You are getting a snapshot of the normal layer underneath. Easy to remedy though. On the tools menu of WMP click on 'options'. Then the 'performance' tab. Next select 'advanced' in the 'video acceleration' section. Finally you will see in the 'DVD video' section that 'Use overlays' is ticked. Untick it and ok everything. Pressing 'Print screen should work now when playing back a DVD. Just remember to re-enable it when done or you may find certains videos that will now display just a black image All gobbledigook to me though!

Wooohooo then I can send you my chosen screen shot of the gorgeous Rob! Thank you Jo! right, I really have to go now! Haven't even got changed yet, and training starts at 6pm!

ryano196030 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Maybe just straight out ask? My experience is that my parents always preferred honesty and were more likely to say yes to something if i was just really honest about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblackrose Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Congrats Rhi Just got my copy of heat. Thought I was being really cool and nonchalant about it but my hubby took one look at it and said 'Yeh, I know why you bought that one!' He also then announced in a really loud voice 'my wife is a cougar' to which several people turned to stare at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano196030 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 ^ LOL I still havent bought heat. I really should go and get it. How long are they on sale for? As in, when will the next issue be out instead of this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also then announced in a really loud voice 'my wife is a cougar' to which several people turned to stare at me LMAO at your hubby!! How mean of him! My bf would have been the same with me had he seen I'd bought it. He'd just take one look at the front cover and know instantly that Rob's the only reason I bought it ha ha! A while back I told him I'd bought Haunted Airman on DVD but purposefully neglected to say Rob was plays the lead coz I know what my bf's like lol! Jade, if it was me I'd simply just ask if I can go see Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see your drawing :) I've never painted oils. I only really do graphite (like my wolf avatar). Started drawing again Last August, and am completely addicted now! (Didn't draw for 21 years!!!) Its so hard to find the time though isn't it! Always something else that needs doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
