Screenie Tutorial
Screenies are fun... making your own is better!
Are you one of those kids without a fancy graphics making program? Never fear! There is no need for such programs for screenies! This tutorial was made specially for MS Paint.
Explanation of Tools:
Step 1: Find something funny
A lot of funny things happen on neopets. To capture these fine scenes, you must first click 'Print Screen'. It should be by the top right hand corner next to the button 'Scroll Lock'. Click on 'Print Screen' and it will copy the whole screen.
Step 2: Croping
Open MS Paint and press CTRL+V or 'Edit>Paste'. It will paste your screenshot. You need to doctor your screenies. For instance, you only want the acutal screenie itself, not extra things like the top bar or ads. Using the select tool, select the section you want and Cut it (CTRL+X) or Copy it (CTRL+C) and paste it on a new document.
By doing this, you rid of the extra unecessary guck.
Step 3: Editing
It is now time for you to write your comment! Using the text tool, write a witty comment. Changing the color to be more noticable is also a good idea. Another thing is you need to cover the usernames. I suggest using the airbrush to cover th usernames, as shown below.
If you want perfection though, you can follow these steps:
In order to let your screenies be seen, you have to upload them. Some uploading websites are pohotobuckt.com and imagecave.com. They are free to use, all you need is an account. Click 'Upload' and search for your file. Copy the URL and put it in this code:
Hope you have fun making screenies!
1. Using the eyedropper tool, get the 'grey' color behind the username.
2. When you have clicked on it, get the rectangle tool and change your settings as shown below:
3. Drag the rectangle over the usernames to cover them neatly.
