Hi everyone, new to the forum. I was planning to ask people to help find flaws in my game through PT stats by putting images of my stats from PT.

Here is a similar example of someone else who did this:

Could someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks for the help.

Let's try this again:

There are several ways to do this. If anyone else wants to post up their preferred method, I will clean up and make a sticky or put it in a FAQ since it is asked at least once or twice a month.

The way I do it:

1) Download the free program for image manipuation at http://www.gimp.org/ You may need to download other programs to help it run, but the tutorial is straight forward.

2) Launch GIMP, click on file -----> acquire -----> screenshot. Select Grab Single Window.

3) Move crosshairs to the window you want to copy. GIMP will open a window where you can manipulate the image, block out anything you want to block out such as account name,etc.

4) File ----> Save As. Select the folder where you want to save the image. Name the file, using a proper extension. The naming convention I use is YY.MM.DD.text.jpg so my folder is in chronological order, and there is some descriptive text so i know what is in it. You can come up with your own naming convention, but this works for me. Be sure to end with .jpg file extension (or some other permissible type of extension for the web service you use).

5) Open www.photobucket.com. Make an account if you don't have one already. Go to Upload images. Follow the instructions to upload an image from your computer. Select the image you want uploaded. Photobucket will add it to your album.

6) Start a thread at BTP. To add your image, simply type "[img]URL%20of%20your%20image%20at%20photobucket[/img]" minus the quotes.

This is Tetsuo guide btw.-

Download "Irfanview", 'one of the most popular viewers worldwide". It's lightweight, has great functionality and I've been using it for years.

www.irfanview.com

1) Focus on window to capture, press ALT+PrintScr
2) Open Irfanview and CTRL+V to paste your window image
4) Draw a box around confidential items and press CTRL+X to blank them out, repeat until acceptable for public consumption
5) CTRL+R to bring up the resize box. Set width at X pixels (an 'X' of 600-700 should be fine, the 'natural' forum width is 772, so try to keep it within that). Make sure the 'Preserve Aspect Ratio' checkbox is checked. Press OK.
6) Save image
7) Upload to photobucket

To add your image, simply type "[img]URL%20of%20your%20image%20at%20photobucket[/img]" minus the quotes.

You're done!
