Corel X3 issue

[Steve Clarkson]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the welcome..

I used the print screen key on my key board then pasted the images into Corel and cropped them. I did two captures to make that little layout of the corel work space...

The print screen key is usually to the top left of your key board between you letter pad and you numbers pad.. if hit that key you can then paste the screen capture into Corel or whatever software application.

Thanks,

Tom Knight

Hmmmm.....I found the print screen button on my keyboard, but I can't seem to get it to work. It's actually on the number keypad inside a rectangle. I tried toggling on and off the num lock, tried the alt, ctl, and shift keys.....but I couldn't get it to capture a screen shot. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Steve, what are you doing with it once you capture it? It doesn't visibly do anything when you capture it. You have to open something and "paste" it in that. So open Corel and try pasting once you have do the right keystrokes.

I have no idea what I'm doing!!!

I guess I have to find the right keystrokes.....whenever I hit "paste" whatever the last thing I copied gets pasted.....not the screen shot. After the screen shot do I hit "copy"?

LOL Steve, I have to tell you, when I need a screen print, I hit the Screen Print button, then I hit the Control screen print, then the alt screen print, then the control, alt, and print screen, and then I go into my application and hit paste. So I have no idea which one it is that works and I use it so little, I always forget

It's one of those combinations

If you hit "print screen" then go to where you want to paste it and hit "control v" you should have it.

I think I got this right.
It is a little extra work but i am sure it will pay off when i start my own tutorials. (Eat your heart out, Steve)

I give up! I tried every combination possible and couldn't get it to work. I didn't really want to know how to do it anyway......

Shift + Print Screen. Open new corel document and paste. Edit bitmap and save as jpg2 standard works for me.

[John Noell]

Shift+PrtScrn = whole screen; alt+PrtScrn = window

Steve.

Did you try the Function (fn) key?
This worked for me. Then go to CorelDRAW and hit ctrl v for paste.

Tom, great website. Gotta get back to view a few more videos. The one on flames is very cool.

[Steve Clarkson]

Scott, you're a genius!!! It worked the first time!

And so I'm wondering why nobody else knew about my secret function key.........

[Bill Cunningham]

I have a simple little program called Picture publisher that I have been using for years.. It's just a simple paint program that allows me to do quick things, that I could probably do much better in photopaint, but don't have the time to sort it out.. If I have a quick change to do to a bitmap, I just select it, hit <cntrl> C and then use the clip board to open a new file in either of the two programs, or do part in one, and the rest in another.. then back to the clip board and paste back to corel.. It might be round about, but I've been doing it for so long it's almost an automatic second nature..

Steve try <Ctrl> + <Alt> +<Delete> Then quietly step away from the computer
