Can anyone recommend a program that will allow me to do a printscreen and then post it here?

I know a lot of you do it, but I don't know how.

If you run XP, Ctl and PrtScr will do it. 7 and later has a Snipping Tool built in in the accessories folder. You can draw a rectangle around what you want to capture and save it.


I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

ctrl + printscreen button (whole screen) or alt + print screen button will gve you a picture of your active window. Then open it in clipboard or paste to windows paint. In windows 10 paint defaults to jpg extension. Then attach them below with file manager link. load and save etc.

Also, ATL and prt scr will capture only the active window.

Thanks guys.

IS that the way forum folk add BIAB screen shots to these posts?

I recall in the past a program called Tiny Pics (or something like that) was used.

If your gonna add a shot to a post you need to have the photo somewhere on a web host so that you can link to it. You can't upload directly to the forum.

actually, I think you can. You have to be in the advanced editor that lets you format the text. From that editor...

1)click FILE MANAGER below the text box, and then
2)click BROWSE to find the picture on your hard drive...
3) click ADD FILE, then...
4) click DONE ADDING FILES

(you won't see the photo until you send the message)

See my post. Uploaded straight in. I believe there's a size limit though and its quite small by our standards:-). There are various on-line programs that will shrink pictures.

Oops. My bad. I've always linked to them. Didn't realize you could upload anything other than avatars.

if you have started your reply and you see formatting icons at the top of the message box, then the FILE MANAGER link should be outside the text box, at the bottom left.

If you don't see any formatting icons, that means you are still in the simple editor, in which case you need to click the button that says SWITCH TO FULL REPLY SCREEN (which should be to the right of the SUBMIT and PREVIEW REPLY buttons)

Once you are using the FULL REPLY SCREEN (AKA formatting editor) you should see the FILE MANAGER link below the text area.

That's great, thank you Pat. I'll have a play around with it.
Appreciate your help.

It's very easy to miss unless its pointed out to you. I learned in a similar thread where I took the position that it isn't possible, and Noel Adams explained otherwise. But no matter how you learn about it, it's a handy bit of information to have. ;-)

You can post an image directly in a message but the picture will always be the last thing on the page. So if you have a number of pics they will be at the end of message and you have to remember which pic is which in your description.

If you post an image from a web site you then can place that pic between text. I find this to be the better way but YMMV.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Keith,

+1 for Windows Sniping Tool.

I kept forgetting where to find it is so I dragged it to my taskbar.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
