Printing from the "Galleries".
I was asked recently about printing some pictures that appear in galleries of images that appear from time to time in our newsletters or meeting notes.
Here's the easiest way I know how to do this.
A typical gallery might look something like the image shown below. I've taken a "screen shot" of a section of a page from our April 6 meeting when Don Sinclair did a presentation about clock face painting. Don included a six-page summary of his process which appear in a "gallery".
You can click on any part of the image gallery that contains the pictures from Don's handout. If you do this you will see an enlarged image of the page you clicked on.
Although this is not part of the "printing process" I'm discussing, note the red arrows point to grey arrows on either side of the page that appears on the screen. You can use these grey arrows to toggle back and forth through the six images in this gallery.
But let's say we want to print this page.
Start by pressing the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. You will notice the whole screen goes "grey".
Use your mouse and click on the top left corner of the screen that contains Don's page that you want to print. Keep the left mouse button held down. Drag to the lower right corner of the screen. The area you choose will become brightened. As long as you hold the left mouse button down you can move around to highlight the area of the screen you want to "capture". Release the left mouse button when you have highlighted the area on the screen you want to print. The screen returns to its normal appearance. But the area you selected is in your "clipboard".
Now go to any program you have that let's you print stuff. Let's say Microsoft Word. Select a new blank document in Word. Put your mouse cursor on that new blank page. Now press Ctrl-V to paste the clipboard onto your Word page.
From here I'll assume you know how to manipulate the image the way you want and to print it.
