carnifex -> How to take screenshots? (2/15/2011 4:19:38 PM)
Is there a Screenshot hotkey? I didn't see it in the list and the forum search is broken of course.

Hi all, quote: ORIGINAL: carnifex Is there a Screenshot hotkey? I didn't see it in the list and the forum search is broken of course. WitE is regular windowed Windows application! Thus you can always do the flowing: #1 PrtSc This saves the whole desktop to clipboard - just open the, for example, Microsoft Pain and select Paste! #1 Alt + PrtSc This saves just the active window (in our case just WitE window) to clipboard - just open the, for example, Microsoft Pain and select Paste!

Yeah, I was hoping for a "save entire map at my zoom level" button.

But how do people do these enormous screenshots that are in some posts here? Do they have an enormous screen (like are they playing the game on their 42" flat tv... hmm that was an idea, wonder what my wife would say...? [8D]).

Hi all, We use so called photo merge software for combining several small pictures into one big one... Leo "Apollo11"

One guy was using a 21 inch screen,they take large screenies then open a large canvas in paint cut and paste screenies onto it,anchoring the last paste as you go

quote: ORIGINAL: cookie monster Why do you wanna save the entire map? I'd like to review the tactical situation on my iPad during my morning and afternoon commute. Take screenshot, upload to iTunes and browse. I don't want to Photoshop seventy bajillion fragments into a whole. I did that once to make a giant map, but I don't want to do it every turn :)

Kel -> RE: How to take screenshots? (2/15/2011 9:20:18 PM)
by the way what software do you use for the maps you include in AARs ? I'd love to find one that is both easy to use and where I could paint decent arrows to indicate objectives, army moves and so on

Vyshka -> RE: How to take screenshots? (2/15/2011 9:33:09 PM)
Paint.net seems to do a decent job. For people stitching map images, has anyone tried Microsoft's Image Composite Editor? http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ICE/

Theres a free trial for a month so I would use that.

EDIT I just dragged a load of screenshots into Windows Movie Maker, you can then auto create movie,it then makes a slideshow,perhaps this helps.
