Hetstaines really dodgy screenshot tutorial for noobs

[Hetstaine 10852]

Thought this might be an interesting topic for those guys/gals who have no idea how to do any basic screenshot editing. Maybe a little lengthy for first timers, but like all things it gets easier with practice and you may (will) find an easier way to do things than i do :) I tried to keep it short and as basic as i could while not using any expensive (free only) programs like photoshop or the like and hopefully it may get some people into wanting to have a crack at doing some screenie editing :)

 

TUTORIAL HERE

 

Any of you other guys who use other (easier) methods feel free to post here and if you like i can do up a tutorial and throw it up for you all in the place.

 

cheers

A fun read.

Really nice and suits its purpose like a glove.

A good fitting glove, mind. Not those flimsy ones without fingers.

Who knew you could do so much with Paint?

This tutorial is great! Now we need one to help people take screenshots that don't suck in the first place :P I imagine it would be along the same lines as a basic guide to photography, since that's kind of what it is (with way more constraints).
