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!

We use so called photo merge software for combining several small pictures into one big one...

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

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 :)

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

For people stitching map images, has anyone tried Microsoft's Image Composite Editor?

Hate to say it but http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/ Snag it seems the best for arrows. Theres a free trial for a month so I would use that.

Just had a thought maybe you could make a video or a slideshow. To fit in the panaramic view easily.

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.
