    Hi All ,

    I have just returned from Egypt and there some photos I did not get with my still camera, The photos I want are on my movie camera, Is there a way to freeze frame the time line to print off a photo.
    This is as far as I have got !!!

    I have stopped the time line to the photo I want then clicked on “get photo” Then it comes up select camera/scanner I click on scanner Then my brother scanner comes up and I click on scan, I add a name to the photo I have scanned and it goes to documents when I click on documents the name is there but no photo????
    Can any one help please.

    There are two ways of doing this.

    The first is to click the “Copy Snapshot to Clipboard” icon (top right of the Preview Window), paste it it into your paint program and save it.

    The second is to click the “Save Snapshot to File” icon (looks like a floppy disc) on the top right of the preview window.
    You’ll get the choice of saving it in JPEG or PNG format. I recommend PNG because it’s a lossless format in case you want to do anything else with the image.

    With either method, make sure to set the Preview Window to Best/Full before doing this to maximize image quality.

    Be sure to change your Preview to “Best-Full” before capturing the frame. You will get what the preview window is set to.
