I promised I would upload a tutorial in my next upload, but I'm having problems with print screen.
I can't believe I'm asking this. But I can't get print screen to work in CS5, I do print screen, and try then to paste it in another document, but no luck. It works in other applications ( eg I can paste the result in word) I'm sure I used to do it in CS2
I've tried paste, Ctrll+v etc.
Nick, You need to open photoshop in 32 bit mode, works for me but not in 64 bit
Nick, don't know if this will help you but I just got print screen to work in the 64bit version by suspending my firewall.
Graham, Works every time from outside ps, the problem seems to occure when doing a print screen from within ps, certainly in the 64 bit version.
What you are understanding is that it works for you but not for some others!
It may be that a number of factors come into play here, with me it would seem to be Outpost internet security, but googling turns up a number of users finding that various plugins may be to blame. So looks like the complete setup has to be looks at if it doesn't work including firewalls and plugins - photoshop is wonderful
Try "AltGr" & "Print Screen" together and then paste into your new doc.
Thanks for all your help. The problem seems to lie in the version of CS5 - the 64 bit version it doesn't work. When I tried the 32 bit version it worked straight away. Ive now posted some screen shots in the tutorial on todays image (more to follow and I will tidy up the text).
Once again thanks for all your help 
Hi nick I use the 64bit version of PS6 and it works fine.
The way to go is:
Ctrl + Print Scr. - This will copy the screen shot to the clipboard.
Then to get it back again you go file new, the size in the dimensions box will be whats on the clipboard.
The edit paste and the screen shot drops into the new file.
then its just a case of resizing and copying to your tutorial PS File.
If your putting it into word then just paste works directly
hope this helps
