After you've copied the image to paint (or whatever), save it and click "Save as type:", then select JPEG.Kickbooti said:Okay, I'm old too - how do you save a screen shot as a jpeg? Dot maps would be fun to make.
I know how to make a jpeg, but I don't know how to make those nice, neat colored circles (mine look more like a child's crayon-drawn circle, and any printed words look like those of a 3-year-old.) I've noticed some in SG's look like fonts. I've never tried one of those expanded-borders cities outlines in different colors either.IroquoisPlisken said:After you've copied the image to paint (or whatever), save it and click "Save as type:", then select JPEG.

Oh. On my keyboard there's a key called Prt Scr/SysRq next to F12. That basically copies the entire screen. Then Alt+Tab to Paint and Ctrl+V or click Paste. If you don't have that key...well, I don't know how to help you.Kickbooti said:Thanks IP; but let me back up one more step, how do you copy the screen to paint (or whatever)? Is there a hot key or something? Since Civ doesn't really work as a full Windows program I have never figured out how to use different copy utilities with it (though I have not tried very hard either).
In Whomp's screen you can click the oval on the left to make perfect circles. After you click on it, select the box right under it to make circles with a see-through center. The other two options fill in the circle.but I don't know how to make those nice, neat colored circles
Seems like I had trouble making it round, rather than oval, but it's been awhile since I tried it. I'll give it a try. Thanks.IroquoisPlisken said:In Whomp's screen you can click the oval on the left to make perfect circles.

You can also change the width of the circle by first selecting the line and choosing a thicker line.
...Reading back over that, that seems very confusing, but hopefully you'll understand it.
