Flash Website - Can I capture a picture?

[janette]

I want to use a color on a flash website. I get no copy/paste feature when I use right click. Is there anyway to do this??? I wanted to play with some colors on a photo and want to use paint website colors.

They did this in a digital scrapbook class but I think the images were plain jpg - I'm trying to find my book to see how they did it.

I'm using Photoshop Elements V5

TIA!

DH said you should be able to do
SHIFT + PRT Screen or
CTRL + PRT Screen or
ALT + PRT Screen
to capture the image and paste into a Paint or Word document. He said each do something a little different but he can't remember exactly what. He also said this may or may not work, but in his experience SOMETIMES it will. Something about saving the whole window, not just the actual image you want to capture. And Flash, timing is everything and it depends on how they have the security set.

(Sorry if this is so choppy. I was basically typing what DH was saying.)

Good luck and let us know how it goes...

Usually if they are using their photo in flash, they don't want you to "take" the photo! I would recommend you asking the photographer for the photo, if they say no or you can't email them, then I would try using another photo.

Thanks Robin! I'll try it!

I'm trying to paint a picture of my room with the colors from the paint website. I don't think they'd mind but the website is in flash so can't get the picture, trying to decide colors and thought this might be a good way to look at what the room would be like with them.

Most pictures on the web are at a very low dpi or low resolution, since they look fine online. If you try to enlarge them to put on your wall, or even print them at normal photo size, they will look very pixellated and like garbage. Believe me I learned this the hard way, I tried to "cheat" the Photopass system and we downloaded all the pics from the website and I had forgotten we had done that and I printed a large batch of Disney photos, including some of the Photopass ones, they look horrible!
