Most of us are used to being able to just right click and hit save when we want to save an image to our computers while surfing,
but as Snowdays is a flash oriented site, this normally easy task can not be performed there.  So is there a way to capture our
flake images and save them forever?  Of course there is!

In fact, I am sure there are probably hundreds of ways to do this!  This page will "x"plain two very different ways...
Remember, both of these methods will work with your flakes at SnowDays, or ANYTHING ELSE you wish to capture!

How to capture Images
(the "X" way!)

I use 2 different FREE programs to capture and edit images.  Both are GREAT, and get used often!
One is Gadwin Printscreen (to capture the image), the other is Irfanview (an image viewer that allows
for cropping the catured image, resizing it, sharpening it, etc.)

You can get both these programs for free, right from MisterX.ca!
They are the 1st 2 programs listed HERE on my "freebies" page.

Using these programs is super easy!

The full instructions can be viewed on this page HERE at my forum!

How to capture Images
(the "windows" way!)

Fellow "flaker", Jan Personette, sent this PowerPoint file to me some time ago.  She was asking me
for my input, in case she forgot to mention something.  As I have always used the above mentioned
method, I really wasn't of much help to her!  Yesterday, I stumbled upon it again, and that was what
gave me the idea to create this page.

I think she did a WONDERFUL JOB with it.  It is easy to understand and follow along to :)

...thanX, Jan!  :D

Capturing images is knowledge that everyone should have, and now YOU do!

Have Fun!
