But I don't think it worked. What was supposed to happen? I did DM's thing, got the crosshairs, but wasn't sure what to do with them once I had them. I'm seriously a computer moron. The fact that I have an avatar at all is huge![/quote]
Mad, when you see the cross-hairs, position them at the top-left corner of the item that you want to capture (in this case, the piece of art). Hold down your mouse and drag the cross-hairs to the opposite corner, and when you've got the whole picture "captured" in a box, let go of the mouse.
The item will show up (probably on your desktop) labeled "Picture 1.png" (or some such similar number, depending if you have others there already).
ETA: TOWOS, that's ^ how you save the art. Take a whole screen capture and then cut it down, or take a selected screen capture using the above cross-hairs method.
Dramatic highlights & a unique musical cosmos. Guaranteed.
