Behind the Scenes

So if you have any interest in what goes into this blog here is a little bit of behind the scenes. I use Screen Hunter 6 Free edition for all my Windows Screen Shots, for linux I just do print screens and edit them in Adobe Photoshop. Anyhow this is the a short tutorial on install and configuration. You can find it by just searching for "Screen Hunter:.

First Install screen select next.

Here you can choose to add shortcuts or not. I usually just have it start on startup and not put a short cut on the desktop but you can choose whatever suits you.

The ever loved progress bar.

Choose Finish

Now this is the main screen and you need it open to take screen shots. Don't worry it does not show up in screen captures. The main button the one you will use all the time is the circle in the middle saying "Capture Now"

Now in the main screen I use the following settings. 

1) I choose to capture ONLY the active window, this saves me a lot of Photoshop work later on. 

2) I DO NOT include the mouse pointer. (I find it distracting in screen captures)

Now if you choose "TO" 

I make the following changes here. 

1) I choose to save a JPEG

2) I choose a custom folder to save to: You I just call mine Screen Shots

Well that is it for this simple behind the scenes look, again I should have the new Linux Lab up today and will  start to make the new tutorials then. 

Peace Out.
