Gunn ,'Not Fade Away'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I admit I frame things with an eye to reduction to 100x100.
Heh. Reading through back issues of Nightwing last night, there's a panel from (I think) #51 -- with Catwoman -- that I want to make an icon, but I can't for the life of me get the .jpg files of the .cdr archive to unpack so I can open the pages individually.
Steph, what do you have, a Mac or a PC?
If Mac, you should be able to press Command-Shift-4 to make a screen capture, and then manipulate that in any graphics software you have.
If PC, you can open up your graphics software, press Alt-Print Screen, go to your graphics software, select File->New, and then press Control-V to paste the image.
It may or may not get you good resolution for 100x100 icons...

iMac novice begins taking furious notes...
I think there's a feature in the display software that lets you save a page -- it's how I ganked images for my Martha Washington LJ theme.

Mac at work; PC at home.

Oh yeah -- DUH. I'ma try that when I get home.
Well, when I do a screencap (which I do, um, daily) I hit Command(Apple)+Shift+4, which gives me a little plus sign instead of a mouse pointer. You can move the mouse around until you've got it where you want it, press the button, drag until you've got a big enough square selected, and then let go.
My screencaps get dropped on the Mac HD directory as SimpleText pictures, which you can drag and drop into Photoshop, for example.
Edited because the draggage comes before the droppage.
I saw the cartoon Teen Titans last night where Starfire goes to the future, which raised some questions: Is that what Nightwing typically looks like? Is Diamond in Powers explicitly based on him?
Is that what Nightwing typically looks like?
He's got short hair in the comics. At one point in the comics and the Batman cartoon he had a Really Sad Mullet. But that's basically Nightwing, yes.
Dunno about the Powers question.
Steph, cdr files are simply rar files with a changed extension. There should be (somewhere) a version of rar for the Mac.
Thanks, David! Hey, I sent you a short email about a half-hour ago.
