You can select your output folder, size dimensions to rescale to, file type and more.<br /> <br /> The Xenetech workspace has rulers starting at zero from the top left in both directions. I capture the rulers with the layout. When you save as a jpg you can't really tell how big it will be in the real world so it gives the customer a better idea.<br /> <br /> I find the freeware photo viewer/editor from <a href="http://www.irfanview.com/">irfanview.com</a> much better for simple quick editing and use it as my default viewer for jpg and bmp. It opens in 2 seconds instead of the 15-20 that corel photopaint takes.<br /> A great tool for resizing for email is the "do not fit anything" so you will<br /> see the actual size displayed so you don't send something that is 3 screens wide. <hr /><a name="a6120_9"></a><p><b>From: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.9">#9</a>]<br /> 22 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.2">#2</a>] 22 Feb 2007</p> I tried, but pressing the print screen didn't do anything. <hr /><a name="a6120_10"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.10">#10</a>]<br /> 22 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.9">#9</a>] 22 Feb 2007</p> that saves it to your windows "clipboard"<br /> you then have to paste it somewhere like a photo editor and save it as a jpg from there. <hr /><a name="a6120_11"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.11">#11</a>]<br /> 22 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.9">#9</a>] 22 Feb 2007</p> <p>Steve,</p> <p>You need to hold down the Alt key as you hit the Print Screen key. That will load the screen shot to your clipboard. You can then go into PhotoPaint and paste it from the clipboard.</p> <hr /><a name="a6120_12"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.12">#12</a>]<br /> 22 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.11">#11</a>] 22 Feb 2007</p> <p>To get a view as it will accurately engrave takes a few steps.</p> <p>Set up all of your tool bit sizes, then click on WYSIWYRE, (what you see is what you really engrave). It looks like an artists palette. Then do your screen shot and whatever conversion you need.</p> <p>You can even select the color material and core from the lists of materials provided. It gives the line thicknesses of all of the bits so it is pretty accurate.</p> <hr /><a name="a6120_13"></a><p><b>From: geebeau</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.13">#13</a>]<br /> 22 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.12">#12</a>] 23 Feb 2007</p> <p>Thanks, all..

The lines are all zig-zaggy and may frighten the customer as to the quality of the engraving.</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6120.1">1-5</a>  6-14</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
