So, there are all these BEAUTIFUL and creative photos for using our Trifle Bowl on CC. BUT I can not figure out how to copy and paste them to use as a possible email or newsletter!:cry:

Someone please help! I'd love a flyer or something I can send out to all the customers. The pics others have sent are awesome and I think it'll help with sales. :p

Any help is appreciated!
 
If you're on a PC use the Print Screen or "Prt Scr" button to take a snap shot and open up Paint or other similar software and paste it to create a photo document from it.

If you're on a Mac I believe the shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+4 to get a tool where you can click the corner of the photo, drag to the opposite corner, and it kind of "grabs" the photo.

I wish I could explain this better..maybe someone else can? Also, can someone verify that shortcut?

Thanks Shelby....I have limited programs. Other than the Paint program, which others would you recommend? I have Windows 7, I think.
 
You don't have Paint?? That comes standard on all Windows...I think?

I do have paint...was just wondering what other programs I could use.
 
Oh okay. LOL. Okay then, other than Paint I recommend PhotoShop. I don't have it on my computer but I took several classes using that program and I LOVE it. It's a bit too much $$ than I can afford to buy otherwise I'd use it.
 
If you do the Prnt Scrn you can paste it on a Word document and format the picture there.

Thanks! What about the scrolling slideshow pics? How can I capture those?

Really appreciate you guys trying to walk me through it! :D
 
I right clicked on each showcase picture and clicked on print. It printed each of them to fit 8 1/2 X 11 " sheet of paper. The color for the HWC picture is a little off. Otherwise okay.

I've got fresh tulips to put in mine with Easter Eggs too. I'm VERY excited!

I took screen prints while whatever picture was up, then cropped using PowerPoint and pasted into Paint and saved as .jpg.

Hi Noora, I'm doing a booth at a tulip festival this Saturday and I really like the way your tulip and plastic egg trifle bowl looks. Can you just verify for me; is that an actual tulip plant in the pot, rather than fresh cut flowers that I've seen in others?

I only copied those images from CC when they were posted last year. I don't know anything about how they've been created.
