WINisd pro into IrfanView

AndrewT · 3rd April 2007, 03:35 PM

Hi,
how do I copy (or export) a view from Win isd pro
to
IrfanView?

I want to post some speaker graphs from isd on this Forum.

Ctrl+Print screen - then paste into MS Paint and save as a jpg - actually Gifs or png's are better for lines.

There are a few freeware programs (printkey 2000?) that simplify this process, but all are annoying in some manner or another.

I don't have pro but I recall the free version having a 'copy' function where the window in the forefront is copied. I forget if it was a right click or a menu bar function (I'm on my work laptop now)

-then paste into irfanview?

Hi,
CRTL+Print screen does not copy. When I pasted, the previous copy was still in memory.

Isd does not have copy nor export in the drop down menus.

Can anyone else give me some pointers.

I have seen what looks like isd graphs so it must be possible.

Alt + PrtScr

irfanview is a viewer, not an editor, as far as I know, so try using paint.

I use standard windows printscreen (either Alt+ or Ctrl+) and MS paint all of the time, so either WinISD modifies printscreen behavior.... one potential source of error is how you paste - if you use ctrl+v it may be the issue - use the edit-paste from the menu.

google for screen capture tutorials and perhaps they will explain it better.

Just use the 'prt scr' key (no ALT+ or CTRL+) to copy the screen to the clipboard then open Irfanview and use paste.

Alternatively, open Irfanview, select 'capture' in the 'options' menu, set what defaults you want to use followed by 'start'. Then you can use CTRL+F11 to directly copy and paste into Irfanview.

Hi all,
got it.

print screen (no other keys) re-fills the memory. and then pastes into IV.

IrfanView is a lot more than a viewer. I have only just started using it in the last month. Brilliant for rescaling, cropping, compressing and emailing in umpteen formats.

I don't know about WinISD Pro, but in WinISD beta, all you have to do is right-click on the graph, and a dialog box appears which says,
"Export Picture To Clipboard".

Then you call up Irfan view, click Edit-Paste, and paste it in.

Then click the "maximize" box at the top twice so all of Irfan view is visible.

This has the advantage of printing ONLY the graph, not the surrounding areas, if that what you want.

A similar thing can be done with XnView, another excellent graphic viewer/manipulator similar to IrfanView, (everyone likes one or the other-they're both great).

XnView lover here too

XnView has a screen capture funtion as well, if you want to grab more than one box at a time.
