Save MPC file as a picture?

[JVallario]

Did a few searches on trying to do this and came up empty. I want to convert an MPC file to a jpg so I can email it. Tried printing to file and putting the .jpg on the end but I couldn't open the picture. Anyone have a trick to do this?

Just do a Print Screen, paste into your graphics program, save as a jpg.

I tried that got nothing to paste. Hit alt print screen - ctrl print screen - shift print screen - went print to file and saved as .jpg nothing. I am using windows XP and photoshop. What the heck is my problem? O boy I think I'm starting to sound like my wife!

Try alt print screen. Open up Paint and paste into that.

Here's the free ware I use all the time,
I also do screen print, but MWSnap does a great job for me http://forum.carvewright.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Hello - just for future reference - in PhotoShop, you need to create a New image before you can paste;)
