That method does'nt always work, and it does'nt seem to at all with
Photoshop. The capture, in essence, has no file format that can be
recognized by PS, and therefor will not immediately be recognizede
or opened within it.
David,
That's strange. I just tried it with Photoshop Elements and it
worked fine. I've been doing screen captures that way for a long
time and, usually, any program which can accept a paste from the
clipboard will accept a screen capture done that way. I'll admit
that I've done select and copy operations where I get the wrong
format message you refer to. I don't recall seeing it with the
ALT-Prt SC technique though.
By the way, this technique also works with Irfan View and a few
other I've tried, including Microsoft Word.
