How to take screen shot of tiles with your layouts

[think2create]

Hi Gerda,

I am using the translation program mamasu suggested. Cool.

My question is how do you take a screen shot of your tiles with a layout? I thought I read it somewhere on the forum once, but I can't find it.

Ik gebruik de vertaling programma mamasu voorgesteld. Koel af.

Mijn vraag is hoe doe u neemt een kiekje van uw tegels met een indeling?Ik dacht lees ik hem ergens op het forum eenmaal, maar ik kan hem niet vinden.

To make a screenshot I prefer to use IrfanView. It is freeware.
It is ca. 1 MB to download at:
www.irfanview.com/

Getting Started:

1. Open IrfanView
2. Click at "C" (shortcut for: Options - Capture/Screenshot)

Some setting. You have to do this only one time:

3. Checkmark: Foreground window - client area
4. Un checkmark: include mouse cursor (optional)
5.Checkmark: Show captured image in viewer
6. Click at Start
7.Open MTE
8. In options: choose classic mode and select the tileset. (or concentration if you don't want to have a tileset on it at all)
9. Select desired layout


10. Press CTRL-F11 (Irfanview pops up)


11. Press: CTRL-R (shortcut for Image- Resize/Resample)
12. Checkmark the second option: set new size as percentage of original to 50 %.
N.B. Maximum width to post in forum is 550 pixels!
13. Press "S" (shortcut for: File- Save as)
14. Select the folder and select the format (jpg) and name the file (like NightieNight.jpg)


I use my layout: *+* for it. It makes the tiles show up all in pairs.

How to cut out a selection and how to create a collage with the pictures used for the tileset:
