How to Save Pictures of Makeovers to your Computer

SAVING MAKEOVERS IN THUMBNAIL SIZE

*First, create a new folder for your makeovers on your desktop.

• On your computer desktop, right click your mouse.  A box will pop up.  Click on "New."
•  Another box will pop up. Click on "Folder."
• Title your new folder

Now that you have a folder to save your makeovers in, go to your page on DUC.   You'll see your four most recent makeovers in thumbnail size...these are the size you'll be saving your makeovers in.  Now, you have two options for saving them...

Option 1:
1. Minimize your browser window so you can see your desktop (click the first button that looks like a minus sign in the upper right corner of your Internet browser window).
2.  Move your makeover folder to the right side of your desktop.
3.  Restore your Internet window (click on it in the task bar at the bottom of your screen)
4. Now "restore down" your Internet window (click on the middle button in the upper right corner of your window).  This will make your window smaller, and you'll be able to see your desktop with your folder there.
5.  Now simply click on the makeover you want to save, and drag it into the folder on your desktop!
 *This is the fastest way of saving makeovers, but the only drawback is you don't get to title the pictures of your makeovers during the saving process.  Instead, they will just be numbered.  However, you can rename them by double clicking on the picture to view it, then click on "File" and then "Rename."

Option 2:
1. Right click on the makeover you want to save (make sure you're viewing only four makeovers at a time for the correct size).
2.  A box will pop up.  Click "Save Image As."
3. A box will open where you can find the folder you created for your makeovers.  Find that folder under "Desktop."
4.  In the "File Name" line, type in the title of your makeover.
5.  Click the "Save" button.

Now you've saved your makeover!

SAVING MAKEOVERS IN "FULL VIEW" SIZE


*First, create a folder for your makeovers on your desktop.

• On your computer desktop, right click your mouse.  A box will pop up.  Click on "New."
•  Another box will pop up. Click on "Folder."
• Title your new folder

Now that you have a folder to save your makeovers in, go to your page on DUC.  Find the makeover you want to save, then click on it so you are viewing it in "full view" (where you can kudo/comment on the makeover).  Now you have two options for saving them...

Option 1: Taking a Screenshot and Using Paint

1.  Take a screenshot of the makeover (hold down the Alt key while clicking the Print Screen key on your keyboard)
2.  Go into the Paint program on your computer (click Start or the little windows icon at the bottom left of your screen on your desktop.  A list of choices will pop up.  Choose "Paint."  If Paint is not there, type it in the Search bar at the bottom of the list to find it.)
3.  Paste the screenshot into the Paint program (click on "Edit" at the top of the screen and choose "Paste" from the dropdown box, or simply hold down the "Control" key while clicking "V" on your keyboard).
4.  Use the paint tools to crop the screenshot so only the makeover remains.
5.  Click on "File" at the top of the screen, then click "Save as" from the dropdown menu.
6.  A box will open where you can find the folder you created for your makeovers.  Find that folder under "Desktop."
7.  In the "File Name" line, type in the title of your makeover.
8.  Click the "Save" button.

Option 2: Using the Snipping Tool 

1.  Open the Snipping Tool on your computer (click Start or the little windows icon at the bottom left of your screen on your desktop.  A list of choices will pop up.  Choose "Snipping Tool."  If Snipping Tool is not there, type it in the Search bar at the bottom of the list to find it. It may ask you if you'd like to add it to your taskbar at the bottom of your screen.  Feel free to do that.). A box will pop up that looks like this:

2. Ignore the box and use the cursor to drag around the outline of the makeover you want to save.  A red outlined box will now be around your makeover. Let go of the mouse button, and the makeover will automatically pop into the Snipping Tool Window as the window expands.
3.  Now it's time to save your makeover.  Either click on the icon in the toolbar that looks like a floppy disk (if you hover over it, it will say "Save Snip"), or go to "File" and choose "Save As."  A box will open where you can find the folder you created for your makeovers.  Find that folder under "Desktop."
4.  In the "File Name" line, type in the title of your makeover.
5.  Under "File Name, there is "Save as Type." Make sure JPEG is the type selected to take up less memory.  If it's not, click on the down arrow at the end of the box, then choose "JPEG file (*JPG)."
6.  Click the "Save" button.

Now you've saved your makeover!

*NOTE:  If you don't want your Makeover file on your desktop (it takes up more memory on your desktop), you can save it or cut/paste it to your C drive instead.  Just click on the Windows icon at the bottom left of your screen and the startup menu will pop up.  Click on "Computer" then choose "OS: (C)" to save or paste the folder there.  I like mine on the desktop for convenience, but if your computer is running slow, I'd definitely save it to your C drive.
