Winner Screenshots!

**venetian** · 21st September 2004, 05:09 AM

In helping me to post my screenshots here:
Sorry I am not so computer literate but when I 'save as' in my paint program my only choices are 24 bit bitmap*bmp,*dib or 256 color bitmap or 16 color bitmap I see no other alternative. I would so love to put some of my screenshots in this post. Do I really need a different program? Or is there another way? Thanks.

It's been done - the reason why it was an oddball shape is that anything much bigger than that will start pushing the edges of the forum out.

Yeah, you need another program. Paintshop pro is okay for saving images - but you can't resize them using this. I use Photoshop (very expensive) to do my work, but there are a number of other inexpensive shareware - or freeware programs that would do the trick. I would recommend Snagit http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp ($39.99) I've been using this program for years.

thanks CM for the info. I have looked at programs before, maybe not that one, and I got very confused. My son is a computer guy, I'll ask him to help. I got a 2K royal last week and would like to brag. I think I have more screen shots than Rob! Some day I will get them in this forum. This thread is very motivating.

Not sure I have this comment right. Perhaps tongue-in-cheek because you started the thread and have been an active participant in it for some time?

If this is not just a flippant remark, then I would urge Simmo to carry on with this excellent project on OGGS and not get discouraged by the mean spirited. The support being given here to this "brag thread" tells you how the members feel about it.

I think Simmo's site is fun to have a look at and harmless on the whole, but I'd feel a bit uncomfortable if a screenshot I posted on here was used on another site with a link to the casino in question next to it. It does strike me as advertising (though I've got no idea how the site works/whether any money's exchanged per click through to the casino etc.). Also, you sometimes get good wins at dodgy casinos & the less publicity they get the better!
