Best Way To Show Images From Game On Forum?

[chucksabr]

I know a lot of guys here have very elaborate dynasty league threads with lots of graphics. Here is a good example:

What is the best way to manage the graphics for this? I see this guy in particular is attaching the image directly to the board. is there a way to export a "screenshot" of the screen in your game to the forum? or do you need to get an image capture program like SnagIt, manage this images in a folder and attach them from there?

If there's a direct export function from the game to a forum post, I haven't found it yet. Please help?

Many ways to manage images.

Usually a screen shot of the OOTP screen you want, then crop/resize in any editor, like Paint, or GIMP which is free, then use the attach file option when starting a post.

Command-Shift-3 for full screen or Command-Shift-4 and select what you want to screenshot. Upload image to forum.

Macs are the only good computers

Oh, now I understand why your post was unhelpful and made no sense.

Ah, darn. I was hoping there was something easier and more fluid than that. Thanks.

The snipping tool and paint have been really easy for me.

Well I know from asking Gehrig38 if he was still using Paint as his graphics are a lot more elaborate at this point, and he still does.

As far as screenshotting, I just use print-screen and then CTRL-V into Paint. I then resize mine to 75% instead of 100% to fit. I have Photoshop and GIMP as well, but they are really unnecessary for most things you would do, at least in my opinion.

For stuff that is bigger than one screen, I open to an external browser. I use Mozilla Firefox and they have a plugin called ScreenGrab which allows you to take a shot of an entire webpage. That's how I do 48 teams worth of standings in one image. The ScreenGrab plugin is free, and its invaluable when you have to go a bit bigger on a report.
