Saving, Sending, Publishing

Quick instructions: Take a screen shot, open an Image Processor, paste, save it with your name and send it by e-mail.

Detailed instructions

For security reasons, by default Java won't let you save or print a file (so that a Java applet can't erase your hard drive, for example). So, to save or print your creation, follow these steps:

1) Windows

Take a screen shot. Click once on the title bar of your browser, to make sure it's active, and press Alt + PrintScreen. (The PrintScreen button is on the upper-right of your keyboard, often labeled PrtScn or something like that.) Paste it into an image editing program. Open up the Paint program, for example -- this is under the Start menu, under Programs >> Accessories >> Paint. Click the Maximize button on the upper-right corner of the window, and choose the Paste menu item. Crop it. If you want, you can use the program's image tools to erase or delete the parts of the image you don't want. Save it with your name as JPG or GIF and send it by e-mail. It will be published in the no-nike center


2) Mac

Take a screen shot. Press Command(Apple) + Shift + 3, all at the same time. You should hear the sound of a camera snapping a picture. This will put a file containing a screen shot on your hard drive. Or, Take a cropped screen shot. (This only works on System 7.6 or later.) Press Command(Apple) + Shift + 4, all at the same time. The mouse cursor will turn into cross-hairs. This will let you choose which part of the screen to grab. Click and drag the outline of your picture - i.e. click on the upper-left corner of the image, hold down the mouse button, and drag the mouse over to the lower-right corner of the image. Then release the mouse button. You should hear the sound of a camera snapping a picture. This will put a file containing a screen shot on your hard drive.

Open it with SimpleText. Double-click on your hard drive icon (for example, Macintosh HD), and you should see a file named "Picture 1". Double-click on this file to open it in SimpleText. You can now print the picture, but you can't edit it in SimpleText. Or, open it with an image editing program. Use an image editing program like Photoshop to open the "Picture 1" file, to crop the image, and save it with your name as GIF or JPG and send it by e-mail. It will be published in the no-nike center.
