Print screen - size of pasted image

<aside class="meta leading-meta">
</aside>
I use print screen and alt-print screen a lot - pasting screen images into Word files. Is there any way to control the size of the pasted image. It seems my images get pasted very small and so I have to resize.

Hi,
How's everything going? If you could update us at your convenience that would be wonderful.

HT1171 When you do a 'print screen', where does the image go?

Using Windows 7 in Bootcamp.
When i use the shortcut to do a print screen, i cannot find the image nor does it seem to be stored in the clipboard.
Any ideas where this goes?

My Mac Pro has a Mac aluminum keyboard. I found the F14 key to be equivalet to PrtScn key on PC.
Your Windows BootCamp control panel interface has keyboard help.
In PC jargon, pressing PrtScn copies what is displayed on Monitor to clip-board. Unlike Lion/Leopard's
user friendly equivalent, it does not create an incremental .png to desktop for you. If you open Paint
accessory there is a Paste function that will show clip board and you then can save it as zzz.jpg to
desktop etc.
Because this is a tedious process, I have code to do what Lion/Leopard does, so that after pressing
PtrScn; when (PasteScr.Vbs) executed, will place Picture(NN).Jpg on desktop, incrementing NN thus
saving need to go through Paint. The code is Vbs script and you can use it by copying text between,
== lines then pasting the copy to a new text document somewhere on your C:\ drive. Then, after saving,
rename it to, for example, PasteScr.Vbs
You can make a shortcut to this on Desktop to use whenever you have pressed PrtScn.
This works in Vista & Windows 7 and should work in XP.
I have found that in Windows 7 64 Bit, on occasion PrtScn does not go to clipboard and results in a white
Picture(NN).Jpg. If this happens, repeat the Prt & Paste process.
This could be improved if pressing PrtScn could be invoked in the VBS but I don not know how to do that.

Why doesn't markup in Mail app work on screen captures or pasted images?

When in Mail app, If i right click and choose Capture selection from Screen I can take a screenshot which is inserted into the email. The markup icon in the top right of the image never appears. This is also true for images I copy and paste into the email. It seems to me that being able to markup a screen capture is one of the most important use cases for this type of feature.

SteveTEXAS,
When I right click and choose Capture selection. The image it places in the email will not show up on the recipients side. However if I use the Grab shortcuts on my Mac to take a screenshot then drag them in off the Desktop they not only show up on the recipients side, but Markup seems to work on them as well.
I have no idea what would cause this. I think it would be something important to provide feedback to Apple about. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
You can find the Grab app in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
Or you can use the keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. They will place them on your desktop.
For a selection - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 )
To select a whole window - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 ) > ( Spacebar ) > Click Window you want
For whole display - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 3 )
Hope that helps,
Weston

Word document print preview shows entire pasted image, but prints only part of image

I just bought a new HP 8620. When doing a copy and paste into Word, everything is shown in the print preview. However, part of the image, usually the bottom, is not printed.

Hi nedamirakl,
Thank you for your response!
If you copy a photo, does it print the whole picture? Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
After some further searching, I would recommend to try the shrink to fit option in Word, Shrink to Fit in Word 2010 and Word 2013.
If that does not work, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

How to reduce screen size when selecting images??

I clicked on something wrong today, and my settings have been
screwed up. When I am selecting an image (for example:
Behaviors>Set Nav Bar>Open, the screen that followed (that
held all my images) took up about half the screen. And it was easy
to make this larger or smaller, in the usual grab-a-corner-and-drag
way. Obvious, and easy. But now that I've done something wrong,
this last window takes up my entire 22" screen. There is a grab bar
in the lower-right corner, but it has no effect. In other words,
it's impossible to make this screen smaller. As it is; it's
impossible to use DW effectively. I tried quitting and re-starting
DW. No luck. Tried rebooting the entire computer. Again, no luck.
Tried uninstalling the entire DW programme and re-installing it.
Oddly, even when I did this, it did not reset to its original
settings. The window still opens up and covers the entire screen,
and it's still impossible to shrink this window down. This is true
in "Set Nav Bar Image", "Swap Image," etc..
Anyone have *any* suggestions??

sounds like you maximized the page interface. just select the
square box in windows, or the green + button in mac osx. It's going
to save your preferences, so restarting isn't going to do it. And
good grief, don't reinstall the program. See if resizing the
interface helps.

Cannot paste from "print screen" into document CS4

I have Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 and cannot get a print screen copy to paste into a document. I have always been able to do this in the past, this is the first I have tried with CS4 and windows 7. It will paste into an email so I know the print screen button is functioning.
Does anyone how to resolve this. Thank you.

As per John's comment, I occasionally have this behavior on my laptop with XP-Pro and CS2. All will work fine for a dozen screen-caps, and then it ceases working. So far, I've never encountered this on my workstation. In general terms (things that might matter here), the only difference between the machines is that I have the 3 GB Switch on the workstation, but not on the laptop.
For me, Purging everything has no effect. Closing and re-launching PS clears it up though. I have had it re-occur in the second session, but not usually.
Both machines are very clean, regarding which programs and Processes are loaded at boot and running. What is left should not be sapping resources, but who knows? When this manifests itself, I often have PS and either PrPro, or PrElements, running, as those are often my sources for the screen-caps. In my case, maybe one, or the other, has some sort of memory leak. While editing, I have not observed such, and Task Manager does not show anything near extreme resource usage. Also, when I "cure" the issue by re-launching PS, I do not shut down the NLE programs.
Just some observations,
Hunt
BTW - many users on the Premiere fora also use, and recommend, SnagIt.

PrtScn Fn key... aka Print Screen = where??

Quick question from a W540 "Workstation" user.
I often use a quick screen dump using the PrtScn (Print Screen) key to paste into a MS Word or Power Point quick presentation/paste board.
I had to get SnagIt which is very cumbersome for quick grabs into memory and paste. Good for detail/final work, but not for grab on the go. Invoking MS's Windows Snipping tool also requires several key strokes.
So my question:
Fn+B Has the same function as the Break key on a conventional keyboard.
Fn+P Has the same function as the Pause key on a conventional keyboard.
Fn+S Has the same function as the SysRq key on a conventional keyboard.
Fn+K Has the same function as the ScrLK key on a conventional keyboard.
BUT where is the Fn+? key stroke to grab the screen???
Indeed this is supposed to be a Workstation!?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Isn't it a key by itself between the right Alt and right Ctrl?

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

Pasted image not printing in Acrobat Pro 9

I had no problems printing PDF pages with pated into them images in Acrobat 8. Now in version 9 I can still paste the image into the document, save doc and see it on the screen with no problem - but when printing the pasted image is gone. Any clues?

Found that I must select "Document and stamps" in Print dialog box to have stamps and pasted images printed.

Photoshop can't print legal-size image to legal-size paper

I go through a lot of sketch stages to get to a final picture, and I sometimes print on legal paper. My Brother printer does fine at that with Apple Pages, MSWord, Acrobat, and Illustrator, but with Photoshop there's a problem. I set up a legal-size image in PS, go through all the settings I can find for printing to a non-letter-format sheet, hit print, and what I get is a letter-size patch of image on a legal-size sheet. Clearly, either I am missing something or PS is missing something. Any ideas or suggestions?

The problem persists. This has gone on for months, but now I've updated to OSX 10.9.1 and the latest Brother printer drivers. I still get legal sheets bearing letter-sized information. So far, the only answer anyone has had is to check every possible place where the paper size is defined. Right. How many of those are there? 2? 3? 4? See attached screen grab: I don't know what it's doing there, but the black patch at the bottom of the image corresponds to the cutoff area on the print. It shows up when I check the box "Print selected area". Otherwise, all the sizes and labels i can find are legal-paper sizes and labels. So how do I get rid of the black box? Note that, below, the "Print selected area" box is unchecked

Updated to 7.0 Can't send print-screen image and o...

after upgraded to 7.0, I can't send the print screen image by Ctrl-V into the message box.
I can send only text by Ctrl-V now...

2 issues
1. ALT + PRT + SCR PTR to capture a screen print and the CTRL + V into the chatbox still works but the receiving party since 1 or 2 days seems to receive blurry images. These images are so blurry that they become unreadable. I understand that i can sent images with file transfer, but when you do this 100 times per day this requires me to first open an image editor, save the image, then click on file transfer, find the image and press send. So this blurry variant that is sent now is really an issue for me.
2. from time to time, files that are sent simpy do not arrive on the other side. So i can be speaking to the other side but the image randomly simply doesn't arrive. This issue comes and goes and it affects file transfers and pasted images into the chat.

Resizing image to screen size..

Hi Guys,
I m writing kind of a map information program in which I need to send back an image to the user on their mobile device. Being a novice I found lot of information as to how to do it. I also got the screen size using canvas methods. But, now I m in a dilema wherein I need to decide whether I should compress the image on server side or the client side ?
I presume client side will take away a lot of space since I need to implement a routine for that.
So my question is, what should I do ? implement on server side or on client side ?
Thanks for ur help,
--siddhs

You can resize the images using JAI on the server side. Add caching and you will have decent speed. When the client connects, it should send the width and height. The server uses the width and height to scale the original image. The server stores the scaled image for later use before send it to the client.
The slideshow example application uses server resizing.
The midlet requests a image using the form below:
http://fotomica.astrientlabs.com/slideshow?c=cars&li=13&h=200&w=100
Hostj2me.com has an image proxy. You can get scaled images suitable for display on a mobile phone by adding the length and width to the URL. For example:
http://www.hostj2me.com/imageproxy?u=http://static.flickr.com/26/45983803_08b3658ad8_b_d.jpg&h=250&w=400&key=<your api key here>
You can also specify the output format.
http://www.hostj2me.com/imageproxy?u=http://static.flickr.com/26/45983803_08b3658ad8_b_d.jpg&w=400&key=<your api key here>&f=PNG
I think the format choices are PNG, BMP, JPEG, and TIFF.
To get an API key sign up at hostj2me.com and go to the my profile page. The key is listed as the last item in the first paragraph. Copy and paste the key to the URL.

Photoshop Print Screen/Paste colors not working any more

System. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with Adobe CS4
One thing I do all the time is this:
Have something like Windows Internet Explorer open on a web page.
I want a screen shot of Windows IE. So I press Ctrl-Alt-Print Screen.
Then I open Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) and go File/New and accept all the defaults.
Then I press Ctrl-V to paste in the screen capture.
Pretty standard stuff and it used to work fine. But recently it stopped working. Now when I paste, the colors displayed in Photoshop for the screen capture are all off. However if I save the file as a GIF or something, and open the GIF outside of photoshop, it's all good.
I've tried all sorts of things to fix this. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone know what is really going on here? This seems to have happened after performing some Windows updates.

So how do I set up a "good custom monitor profile"?
This is why people calibrate and profile their monitors. If you had a calibrator this wouldn't be a problem (and they're not that expensive).
What you need is a profile that accurately describes the behavior of your particular monitor. Chances are the Dell profile does that better than sRGB, and a custom profile from a calibrator would be even better. Then Photoshop, which is color managed, will use that profile to display the image - but Internet Explorer, which is not (or not fully) color managed, will not use the profile.
So there will be a difference between the two right there, and Photoshop will be right, and IE wrong.
The way this works is similar to any other profile conversion, like when you convert a document from, say, Adobe RGB to sRGB. Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. This way it compensates for the peculiarities of your monitor and what you see is what the file "really" looks like.
So you can see what happens if your document profile is sRGB, and your monitor profile is sRGB: nothing happens. No profile conversion, no color management. This way Photoshop behaves exactly as Internet Explorer does. Everything you see on-screen, color managed or not color managed, will match. But it won't be right. One way to simulate this (with a good monitor profile) is to proof to Monitor RGB.
As for the screenshot: when you paste that into a new document, the RGB numbers will refer to the monitor profile, not the document profile. This is why you assign the monitor profile to make it look like the original. Then you convert that to sRGB (or Adobe RGB etc) to bring it into a standard color space.

Can't choose what part of image to print when printing actual size.

I have a pdf file that needs to be printed out to actual size, since the image is a temlate for a part that I need to cut out. Since the actual size is bigger than the paper size, it shows a purple box in the preview box, indicating what part of the document it's going to print. The first time I printed the image, it let me slide the box or the slider below, left to right to select what part of the document on wanted on the paper. But, now it's just locked in place. I'm not sure what changed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Adobe Reader XI. Printer is a Canon MP495.

Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
There are a couple of things to try:
1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
help. It actually does occasionally fix something
strange like this.
2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
"Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
Restart normally afterwards.
4. You can download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
It will extract things from your Install disk so you
can install only what you need, in your case Image
Capture.
My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
afraid all I can recommend is these general
approaches. Hope one of them helps.
