Most of us here exercise our Photoshop skills by polishing our own images, and applying what we have learned along the way. For most of us PS is an exercise in continuing education. It has been for me since I first got PS LE. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Many photos in Flickr are copyrighted and can only be saved with this sort of thing. Hmmm. I just looked at half a dozen copyrighted photos on Flickr and all were downloadable via Flickr's ordinary method--click the icon a choose the size. Not saying this applies to all copyrighted photos on Flickr, but it obviously isn't the case that no copyrighted photo can be downloaded. I avoid this issue altogether by posting my photos https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/ under a Creative Commons license. Want one for non-commercial use? Help yourself. The Encyclopedia of Life and the Maryland Biodiversity Project, both not-for-profits, have harvested several hundred of my photos from Flickr for scientific use. I get e-mails from educators and students from K through post-doc telling me how they used my photos. Want to print one of my photos and hang it on your wall? E-mail me and I'll put a high-res TIFF in my Dropbox public folder for you. Yet I still manage to sell a few photos every year for publication. Requests come out of the blue; I don't promote my photos, I just show them. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Even if a message says this, one can see the video still operating on the screen. Peter I have been using the free verison of Jing. https://www.techsmith.com/jing.html It takes screenshots and screen videos. I use it to do tutorials on a software program. I find it far easier and better to use than the Snipping Tool that is part of Windows (7). I have no experience in copying video clips. Try Jing for free and see how it works. The only limitation of Jing is that the free version creates a .png, but I have Photoshop and add text to the screen shots. I then save the file as a .jpg. I tried several programs before settling on Jing. Thanks. I downloaded "Jing" and it does extract videos from the screen, though the quality seems less. Have you experience with the 'pro' version abd does this give clearer videos? Peter No, I didn't try the Pro version. I forgot to mention that I also tried BB Flashback Express to record screen actions in video. It was better at video than Jing, but I mostly use screen stills. http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx I tried both video and stills to make tutorials on using a software program. The video works, and shows what is being done on the screen OK, but I didn't like making the audio track. It works better for me to use screen shots and add text instructions. The only problem with still screen shots is capturing a dropdown. The dropdown closes when Jing is used to make the capture. Like BIOS startup screens, one can just take a picture of the screen. But it's slow & tedious. |

I tried several programs before settling on Jing. I see Jing is available for OSX, I will take a look. For image screenshots my go to tool is SnapNDrag, that lets me make selections, capture an active window, full screen shot, or timed screen shot. That integrates with Dropbox via Filechute. http://www.yellowmug.com/snapndrag/ OSX users also have several other built in tools. Jing includes screencast.com, and that provides 2GB of free storage and the ability to link to the images just as you do in Dropbox. I declined that option (you have to register to use it) because I don't need another cloud to store things in. All I really want is the ability to take a screen shot of all or part of the screen and open it in Photoshop to add text or highlighting or whatever. Jing works fine for this. I think I will stick with what I have, SnapNDrag and Screenflow. With SnapNDrag I can capture whatever area or window I choose, and I have good annotation tools in Apple's Preview. From there is is simple enough to add to Dropbox. Screenflow lets me make demo videos and save/export them in various formats and sizes. I don't do much with capturing Youtube videos. -- Regards, Savageduck |
