Question For Those Who Take Screen Shots Of Dvd's - RCuomo 2.0 - 10-23-2005
Ok so, I take a screen shot of say Jason from Part 3... now when I open the file... its a very rectangular picture, exactly how it will appear as a widescreen photo per say but with no black bars at the top or bottom... now I want to print it off as an 8 X 10 photo through Adobe PhotoShop... but when I do... it gets really stretched out... and its not very proportional.... Can anyone help me? Is there a way to take a screen cap of a DVD and have it in a size that proportional to an 8 X 10 photo?
I should note Im using WinDVD Platinum 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop
Hope this all makes sense?
Cheers in advance..
Steven

You\'re basically gonna have to crop part of the screenshot to get a resulting 8x10. Use the "select" tool to cut out the desired part of the image and paste it as a new image.

Post up the original screenshot you want to use as an 8x10 and I\'ll see what I can do...I\'ll post up pics along with instructions tomorrow. I use Photoshop CS2, but I don\'t believe I\'ll use any tools not available to you in PS7. If I can\'t do it, I have a graphics expert buddy that can help.

OK... I was thinking of that just now
The screen caps right now are only about 5 X 8.875... so I was using the selection tool... and cutting the photo down to 5 X 7.... and then adding 3 inches on to it to make it 8 X 10 and then making it a higher resolution... Guess we\'ll see in a minute if it works
