I was wanting to take some screenshots so that I could have a few signatures made, and I realized that I can't with Windows media player. So, I was wonderng how I do it. I tried copying it into paint and saving it, but that didn't work either. Also, is it possible to extract screenshots from videos on youtube? Thanks in advance.

mmm, I am thinking that made if you have Photoshop...Pause the video at the spot of the screenshot, copy the screen(Using the Print Screen button located at the top right area of your keyboard.) Then, paste the picture into Paint and save it. After that, open it up in Photoshop and save it as a jpeg. Once you've done this, Crop the screen shot to get rid of the rest of the screen, and save that. Then resize the picture to whatever you want.

Yeah, but I don't have photoshop, and don't plan on shelling upwards of 100 dollars out for it yet.

Most people don't pay for Photoshop, if you want an image, you can I think a program called SnagIt can take the picture you want.

Got my photoshop free with a package I bought...although its the element version its pretty much just as good as the full version...I'm pretty sure photoshop elements would be alot cheaper...you could even download it I think..
