Pasting a screen shot into an APEX textarea

Greetings,
Is it possible to paste a screen shot into APEX? If so, how?
Regards,
Bill Chadbourne

Hi Bill,
yes it is possible with the FCK Editor.
Here is a link which describes how to do it: http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/images-fckeditor/index.html
It is unfortunately in German but it describes your problem perfectly.

Using grab or anything else to copy and paste screen shots into MAIL

Using Grab to copy a screen shot into Mail-
All i get is a smaller picture of the screen shot and it can not be read in mail as it looses all definition and is too small .
is there a way one can copy and paste into mail using grab or any other utility?

You can do this using the standard screen capture keyboard shortcuts. cmd-shift-4, for example, let's you select a region of the screen to capture. By default, the results will be saved to your desktop as a png image file.
However, if you also hold down the ctrl key (so, ctrl-cmd-shift-4), the resulting screen capture will be saved to your clipboard. Once in the clipboard, you can simply cmd-v paste it into your mail message...

Does anyone know how to paste a screen shot?

Does anyone know how to paste a screen shot (command, shift,3) into a microsoft word for mac document? Every time I try to "paste" all I get is the previous item I cut or copied and not the screen shot...

Best practices for importing .png screen shots into FrameMaker 9?

I'm new to importing .png screen shots into FrameMaker, and also new to FrameMaker 9. To compound things, I have engineers giving me screen shots taken on Linux machines, using a client like NX to get to Linux. My screen shots are coming in fuzzy and instead of trying to troubleshoot what's going wrong here, I was wondering if someone could quickly tell me what normally works with FrameMaker 9 and .png on a Windows system so I can troubleshoot from there.
That is, let's say I'm capturing a screen shot on a Windows system and I use some tool (Paint Shop Pro X, SnagIt, Alt-PrintScreen, or whatever). I save the screen shot as .png and then import by reference into FrameMaker 9.
What dpi do I use in the capturing program?
What dpi do I use when I import by reference into FM?
What if that makes the screen shot too large/too small: Is it better to use the FrameMaker Graphics > Scale solution, to resize it in my capture program, or to retake the screen shot?

Bringing screenshots into Frame documents has four major considerations:
how to perform the original screen capture
how to post-process it in a graphics editor
what graphical object model (and file format) to store it in
making sure it isn't damaged by your workflow
1. Screen Cap, typically of dialog boxes ...
... used to be simple; isn't anymore.
Dialogs used to have identical pixel dimensions on all user screens. You hit Alt[PrntScrn] in Windows and you got a one pixel per pixel 24-bit color image on the clipboard.
More recent operating systems now have much more scalability in the GUI. So either capture at what the default user sees, or at the optimal presentation enlargement, which might be precisely 2x the default display.
2. Post
Before you even start this step, you need to know exactly how you will be presenting the final document out of Frame:
B&W? Color?
What dimensional size on the page?
If hardcopy, what are the optimal parameters of graphical images for your print process? If web or PDF, various other considerations arise. I'll presume print.
In our workflow, the print engine is 600 dpi bitmap. We normally present images at one column width, about 3.5in. Our PDF workflow passes 600 bitmap untouched, but resamples gray and color to 200 dpi. I tend to use 600 dithered bitmap, but always test if there's any doubt.
Chances are the screencap bitmap, at your native printing res, is too small. There is no "dpi" associated with clipboard images. Once pasted into an image editor, the editor should provide the ability to declare the dpi (Photoshop does, both at paste, and via "resize without rescale"). If your image editor doesn't, fire it. If you can't see and control dpi, you have no real control over this workflow.
Plan to save the final image in a format that at least supports linear dimensions (like EPS) if not explicit dpi (TIFF). Save out the image at the exact size you intend to use at import in Frame. Do you know how Frame scales objects? I don't. So do your scaling where you have control over how.
Play with the defined "dpi" until the linear dimensions match your planned import frame. If that dpi passes through your workflow unmolested, you may not need to perform any resizing.
If you need to convert from 24-bit color to bitmap (at your printing resolution), I'd suggest using error diffused dithering converting to your target res, as this tends to preserve the hard edges in dialog boxes and rasterized text.
If you need to re-scale, I'd suggest scaling up by an integer multiple, using "nearest neighbor", to the nearest size just higher than your target dpi. Then rescale bi-linear down to your target size.
3. File Format
The main consideration here is compression, followed by color depth and size encoding.
Screenshots tend to have expanses of flat colors, and hard edges. These objects compress reasonably well using repeat-count compressions (like ZIP or RLE). They tend to get damaged by curve-matching compression, like JPEG, because they typically contain no curves through color space. Hard edges get fuzzy or pick up ringing artifacts.
So don't use JPEG (and what compression will your workflow use?). I tend to use TIFF(ZIP) for screenshots.
Avoid indexed color (4-bit, 8-bit or 15/16-bit) color.
Don't use GIF. It has no size encoding. The usual presumption is that GIF is 72 dpi, which makes importing it a nuisance, and at least a minor math exercise. Plus, it's indexed color, and may scale poorly downstream.
Experiment. See what looks optimal in the final product.
4. Workflow
As you can see throughout the above, all your careful planning can be for nought it your save-as-PDF, distiller or print shop process resamples everything down to 90 dpi. You have to know what's happening, and how to optimize for it, or you probably won't like the result.
We once had graphics showing up at 10 (yes ten) dpi in print.
Turned out the print engine could handle JPEG 5 but not JPEG 2000.
We had to hastily back-port images until a software upgrade fixed it.

HELP! I am having trouble when I try to paste a snap shot into a Word document!

When I paste the picture into the Word document, the image is blurry. What can I do to keep this from happening?

Exactly what does this have to Adobe Reader? Please give details of Reader, Word and your OS.

Not correctly printing cropped screen shots in Word documents

I have a C4480 All-in-one that works fine except for one really annoying thing. I create documents using Microsoft Word that use PC screen shots inserted into the document. I paste the screen shot into the document then use the Word cropping tool to crop the view of the screen shot.
Looking at the print preview of the document, everything looks great - but when I print it, the cropping of the screen shot has changed!
Anyone have any ideas on what's happening?

The distortion was slightly visible in the JPG images in the
WYSIWYG but the SnagIt images looked fine. Both types were present
in the Word doc prior to importing and have always printed out fine
in Word. The images were not added after the import.
I know the original screen capture is fine. When I captured
the same screen in RoboScreenCapture, inserted it into my Word
document before importing - it printed out without any distortion.
SnagIt saves as a .png whereas the RH version saved it as a .gif. I
did resolve the JPG issue by saving those as GIFs. That's why I
thought maybe RH has a problem converting from one format to the
other.
Hope that helps you more!

Pasting screen dump into Photoshop

Pasting a screen dump into Photoshop makes it lighter. Like a milky filter. Anyone had this issue?

A quick "fix" would t set proof preview to Monitor RGB. Beyond that read up on Gamma and color management. PS is a color managed app and inserting unmanged content will almost always result in color differences unless your system is perfectly calibrated.

Help Please! Serious Issues with Placing Screen Shots.

Hi,
I'm a long time browser of these forums but this is my first post. I'm pulling my hair out. I've spent hours on this and have a looming deadline. I've a lot of experience in PS and AI but have only started using ID recently. I've searched the forums and web in general, I've found people with similar or the same problems (both on Mac and Windows) but can't find a solution anywhere. I really think there's got to be a simple solution but I can't figure it out.
I'm using ID CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5
I've created several mutilpage PDFs (not for print, for screen viewing) in ID using vector graphics from AI without any issue. However, this time I'm trying to create a multipage PDF that will be a tutorial for GarageBand that requires dozens of edited screen shots. When I place the cropped screen shots they come into ID really badly pixelated. I've tried bring them in as several different file types, PNG, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, but all with the same result. I've tried scaling them in different ways and exporting the PDF in different ways but the screen shots still look terrible.
I have the document set up for digital publishing and it's A4 Landscape. I've changed the display performance to High Quality Display but this shouldn't really matter because the exported PDF still has horrible looking screen shots.
Sadly...when I bring the same screen shots into Microsoft Word Mac they look absolutely perfect. I really, REALLY don't want to be forced to use Word to create a tutorial, or anything for that matter.
Can anybody help? Please!
Thanks in advance.

It seems ludacris and defeats the purpose of the software for me since I hoped to use it mainly for tutorials containing screenshots.
The user interface you are capturing is designed to the monitor pixel grid and captures degrade if you sample them up or down. You can see the resampling problem if you use OSX's zoom feature–zoom in and the interface get's larger but it also blurs.
And extreme example would be a checkerboard drawn at 10 pixels per inch. Increasing the resolution to 300ppi doesn't add any information and degrades the checkerboard's appearance:
When you place a screen capture in ID and scale it, there's no resampling—the capture is resized and the pixels are scaled larger or smaller. If you print the capture it will look fine because a hi-res printer can accurately draw the different scaled resolutions.
When you export to PDF there's going to be a problem displaying the captures in Acrobat because there would only be one zoom level where the original interface pixels display unchanged. It's similar to Photoshop where the screen capture looks best at 100% where the image to monitor ratio is 1:1, but in Acrobat the 1:1 ratio might be any zoom percentage depending on how the capture was resized in ID.

Screen shots - how to copy to e-mails and in forum communication?

I now know how to make a screen shot, but how can I copy the screen shot into an e-mail and in the reply to a question in forums?
Thank you for helping me out
Harry

Depends on your email client and depends on the forums.
In some email clients you could simply drag the picture into the body of the email. In some you have to add it as an enclosure. Some support both methods (Apple mail does).
Forums differ in the way they handle pictures. In these apple forums you use the little camera in the reply tool bar and it will prompt for the item to be added to the reply. In other kinds of forums you may need to upload the picture to a media hosting site (e.g., ImageShack, Photobucket). They in turn provide you with a url of the upload to incorporate in the forum reply in a specific format.

How to send screen shots from IM?

Hi,
Is there a way to send screen shots through IM? Like copy and paste?
I used IBM's Sametime earlier which allowed to send screen shots through the IM. Can you please tell me how to send it through Lync? I know how to send the files, but I just want to copy and paste the screen shots. I use the Microsoft One Note Screen clipping
(Window + S).
Thanks much.

Hi,
i don't think it's possible to send Screenshots through the Lync Client. you may have to get it to a .jpg or any image format file and send it to the other party.

Hii,
If u want take the screen shot there are different free software are there eg: Screen grabber: this is very useful for grabbing the desired the area from the required screen.
2. if u wanna take the comple screen shot then press hot key ALT + Print screen and save it in the word document. if u want add it as a saperate image paste that screen shot in the MS paint and save it as JPEG, so that the size wil in very less.
if it is helpful, reward points.

Screen Shot Resolution

I took screen shots of several emails, imported the screen shots into a slide show in iPhoto, then exported the slide show to iDVD.
When viewing the DVD on TV, you can barely read the emails.
How can I improve the screen shot resolutions? Should I import the screen shot into PhotoShop and adust resolution to 720 x 540 for NTSC?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for the response.
I increased the size of the text in the e-mails, then resized the emails to 640x480 and took a screen shot, which I converted in PhotoShop from TIF to JPG. I then re-imported the emails into iPhoto and exported the slide show to iDVD.
When I play the DVD on my TV, I can read the text fine, but I neglected to leave space around the e-mail, so some of the sides are cut off on the TV screen.
