How to post images from FreeStockCharts

[Cosmic]

The only way to post a FreeStockChart is to take a screen capture of it, and then trim or resize it in Microsoft Paint or a similar graphics program. (Paint is the fastest program to do it.)

Instructions:

Press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard (usually labeled PrtScr) while your chart is displayed in FSC.

Open Paint, and do an Edit > Paste. Your printscreen should show up. You can crop, trim, resize, or add comments using the various Paint tools.

Use File/SaveAs to save the image to your computer. You can post it here like any other picture using the standard ImageShack instructions.

FreeStockCharts requires Silverlight, a browser add-on, to process the data to make the chart. Without Silverlight, there really isn't any graphic to post. It's similar to Java.

This from Clint needs to be added here I think:

First i start with freestockcharts,com

then I take a screen shot (google how to take a screenshot)

then I paste into Paint and draw on it save as a .bmp

Then I open it in irfanview (google irfanview and download it, its free), crop and save as a .jpg

I do this to shrink the size of the file so the MB lets me post it directly w/o image shack

It sounds like a lot of steps but I can post a chart in about 30 sec.

Thanks Jack - I hate going through image shack. Takes a few minutes at minimum to post each one for me.

There's a "Save Image of this Chart" button at the top of the chart (camera icon). Just click that and you can edit the size, background and a few other options before saving.
