Default Power DVD Screen Grabs
I recently started using a laptop with Power DVD installed, and was very happy to discover it had a screen grab function.

The results look great pasted into Word, but when I paste them into Photoshop to convert the image to jpeg they suddenly look dreadful, with burned out highlights.

Has anyone else come across this? If there is no solution, what is my best software solution to do screen grabs?

Thanks in anticipation.

I've never been a great lover of 'Photoshop' - I prefer to work between the editing suites I got with my digital camera (Samsung) and scanner (Canon).

There is another thread in this section: Screen Grabs.

Go to Powerdvd > Configuration > Player > Advanced > Capture to File >

Then change it to jpeg format.

I tried it this lunchtime on episodes of Four Feather Falls and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and it worked like a charm.
