You can generally link to the other site, but can't save data or images from a site to use on your site. If it is a site with free content that you are legally able to reproduce on your site, then they will generally have directions on how to save an image or copy the content. _________________________ Benjamin Harris - Broker, Instructor Rational Realty, LLC in Pensacola, FL "Your Rational Choice in Real Estate." http://www.PcolaRE.com http://www.RationalRealty.com http://school.RationalRealty.com

Canadave Member Registered: 01/26/05 Posts: 313 Loc: Ontario Canada	Benjamin Thanks for the reply ... sorry I wasn't clearer.. the sites I want capture are my own. I've seen web developer sites where they'll have a thumbnail of sites they've created act as links to those sites. I thought it might be neat to try that - Cheers _________________________ Watch the real estate market .. http://www.ChomzTV.com

Benjamin Harris Broker Member Registered: 10/27/06 Posts: 40 Loc: Pensacola, FL	I see. There are programs that do just what you want. Some are paid, but some are free. You can do a Google for "screen capture" to find software. There is a free program at http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html that you can try. I haven't used it, but it sounds like it will do what you want. _________________________ Benjamin Harris - Broker, Instructor Rational Realty, LLC in Pensacola, FL "Your Rational Choice in Real Estate." http://www.PcolaRE.com http://www.RationalRealty.com http://school.RationalRealty.com

Canadave Member Registered: 01/26/05 Posts: 313 Loc: Ontario Canada	Thanks Benjamin I posted this question on several forums ... the following was a reply I received .. works great. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Hit Ctrl and PrintScrn on your keyboard - this will capture your screen onto clipboard 2. Open Photoshop or any image editor you use 3. Hit Ctrl + N (File>New) for new image 4. Ctrl + V (paste) 5. Resize, crop, and edit the image 6. Save - done Cheers . Dave _________________________ Watch the real estate market .. http://www.ChomzTV.com

Benjamin Harris Broker Member Registered: 10/27/06 Posts: 40 Loc: Pensacola, FL	Glad you found something that works. I tend to offer all-in-one software suggestions, cause some folks don't have the know-how to take multiple steps such as that. I know an attorney who gets confused when he accidentally hits a re-sort button on his Outlook email; he tends to think mail is missing, when it is simply just not sorted in order of last received to oldest. _________________________ Benjamin Harris - Broker, Instructor Rational Realty, LLC in Pensacola, FL "Your Rational Choice in Real Estate." http://www.PcolaRE.com http://www.RationalRealty.com http://school.RationalRealty.com

Debbe Junior Member Registered: 10/12/06 Posts: 3 Loc: Diamond Bar CA	Here is a tool I have found useful for clipping just the portions of the web page you would like to keep. You can save it, print it, email it ,or blog it. And best of all it is FREE. http://www.clipmarks.com ______________________ Deborah Dade-Realtor Paramount Realty Montclair, Ca 91763 http://debbedade.point2agent.com

deu12000 Member Registered: 08/05/06 Posts: 91 Loc: New Jersey	I've been using Screenshot Captor for the last couple of years. It's free and is great especially if you find yourself needing a lot of screenshots and resizing and editing. You can find it at http://www.donationcoder.com/

Cool Cat Member Registered: 03/08/07 Posts: 320 Loc: Indiana	I like Fastone Capture http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm It works great to capture web pages. I have used it in my laptop listing presentations (Power Point) and also printed literature for listings, buyers, fsbo's etc. Fastone also has a free photo program that I use to resize, etc. It is easier to use than Photoshop. It also doesn't take up near as amount of room as Photoshop. $\:\)$

Perky_REALTOR Mod Squad Major Contributor Registered: 11/27/06 Posts: 7685 Loc: PA	I already have Paint Shop Pro (a less expensive version of photoshop and just as good) and I use it on a daily basis - I don't know how I could survive without it. I do screen captures all the time. Whatever works! $\:\)$ I love diversity! _________________________ Lake Wallenpaupack & Northeast PA Real Estate Blog Lake Wallenpaupack / Northeast PA Poconos Homes & Property For Sale Sell Your Pike / Wayne County PA Home ~*~ Karen Rice REALTOR - About.Me Profile
