Hey guys and gals. After having and dealing with Paint Shop Pro and its lack of forums to help ppl I decided to get Photoshop. Alot of the same but very different. What I was wondering is. I use to be able to hit my Prt Scr button on my keyboard and it would snap a shot of what I was looking at. Then I would open Paint Shop Pro and right click and it gave me an option to paste image. Is there a way to do that same thing in photoshop. It was very usefull at times. I would also like to know how I go about making an image like the one attached. Thanx for the help.

Download free screenhunter from

It's all I use and much simpler and a lot more options than print screen. Wayne

The basic shape could be done with the lasso tool, the text with the text mask tool then deleted to the cream layer below and layer style drop shadow. I just use the texturiser for a (poor) woodgrain effect but if you search for wood effect for PS there are some good tuts about. This was done very quickly but it gives you an idea of how it looks.
