Lee... I sent off my e-mail to Maureen before I saw that you'd be interested in the way I do Print Screen. I also used to save and paste into Irfanview until Wolf showed me a little German program he used. It saves you having to paste each time you save a screenshot and it is so easy to then save a series of screenshots one after the other. Here's the letter and explanation I sent to Maureen: I have been using a little German program called "Snapsaver" for an easy print screen function. The icon sits down in my tray at screen bottom and I call it up when I need it. With just two clicks, - one to call up the program and the next one to save the screen - it takes a screen copy and saves it to a predetermined folder where I keep all screenshots, so that eliminates having to cut and paste a screen each time you do a print screen. It will take as many shots as you like, just as long as you press the 'print screen' button, and then after a long pause it turns off until you click the icon to 'wake it up' again. Here is one download site at the link below .....I think all commands are in English but I'll go back and check as I see this page is in German. Usually after taking a screenshot I go to the saved snap in the snaps folder and use my resident default pictureviewer and cropper program (VuePrint) - and crop out any unnecessary edges from the screen capture and resize the page to around 800 x 600, which all together sharpens the image and clarifies any blurry text, then I save the cropped image into one of my photo files. VuePrint is an old program and costs very little I think I paid $40...from Hamrick Software and it is so transparent, yet wonderful as it sits there in the background without being noticed but as soon as I bring up a photo, it will crop and zoom in or out, resize, flip over or mirror image a photo. I think you can still download a test version of that program before paying anything. I just noticed that Hamrick's website is promoting his scanning program (VueScan) but at the top centre there is a link to VuePrint. This is such a neat little program! I'm happy to answer any further questions :-). SharonCb Here is a link that might be useful: Snapsaver Download Site

artemis78, I found your link in my "working" list of threads needing repair, and I submitted it on 2/24. You're right, it's still missing all the photos. :-( Modern California Bungalow Kitchen artemis Oct 2011 Thank you for posting, because I also rechecked the last group of threads I submitted around the same time...and found a few more that are still missing photos and/or text. I've sent a new list to Tamara, to re-send to the tech team folks. I'll keep an eye on the threads I resent today. I appreciate the heads up!

I use Cyberlink Photodirector (10 I believe.) I was able to try a and keep a free version years ago and later bought a newer version. It has all the basic features plus advances ones like Photoshop. You can layer and it supports raw files. My favorite thing is the people beautification tools and the background object removal. The people feature a brush for the whites if the eyes and dark brush for lashes. You can adjust the intensity and size of the brushes. I also like the skin smoother feature. Again, adjustable so can still look natural and not plastic. The object removal is one I use often for everything to background adjustments to a face blemish. There’s also a feature that allows you to select/mask an area and you can adjust the contrast etc. I use this in faces or other areas normally to brighten a little. It does has preset filters but I don’t use them. You can also create your own presets. You used to be able to do a month free trial not sure if that’s still an option. https://www.cyberlink.com/products/photodirector-photo-editing-software/features_en_US.html About two years ago before I went to a Mac I loved Windows quick photo editor right from the viewer. I had Cyberlink then but not every photo I take needs all the extra adjustments. It was great for basic quick, full control if the brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights, etc. adjustments. Then they went and made changes and dumbed it way down! You had limited control but oh they added filters! Eye roll. A bunch of horrific filters.
