jpg conversion

[Canemaker]

Someone wants to see what I am working on. Is there a way to save an image using the project designer software to another format (say jpg) so they can open the image as an attachment? Maybe I'm brain dead at the moment, but I can't figure out how. Project designer only allows me to save as a mpc file. Thanks John (having another senior moment)

If you are running vista or win7, there is a great tool called snipping tool. With it you can capture an image by dragging a rectangle around the designer view and saving it.

Now if this is your pattern, and you have it saved as a ptn, and you have PE, double click on the pattern, then in PE choose file, and export as image.

For XP find a screen capture program, or press PrtScn button, then open paint program and click edit and paste. Then save the file.

+1 - snipping tool. I use it all the time and this is how I make my screen shots. Easy, free, safe/secure, and reliable.

Thanks for all the help, I do have vista and now I have learned something new and it is on my desktop for further use. I also have PE. Thanks again this is a lifesaver. John

I use a tool called Snagit which has a trial period. It's very easy and replaces the PrntScn tool on the key board. And I have used it on a bunch of images that have become patterns or images captured to show work...and it also does video

the really nice thing about the snipping tool is that no additional processes are required-- just draw a box around the area you want to make a picture of and then save it where you want. Also, it's not shareware or freeware but is part of the windows program itself (and is probably already on your computer) Once you use it you'll never try anything else!

I keep one on my toolbar both on my home and my work computers.
