Bing maps aerial shots

[btfarm]

Does anybody know how to save one of the Bing "birds eye" aerial shots to your hard drive? Or do you have to join something in their website to do that? I saw somebody posted one the other day.

A screen shot? Or Bing has a option?

They have an e-mail image option IF you have THEIR e-mail set up. Forget that...
I don't know how to do a screen shot :confused5:...................yet.

Hit the Print Screen button on the keyboard. Go to Paint and click "Paste" or Hit CTRL V and it will post your "screen" into the window. You can crop around the image and then hit save.

shift and print screen (prnt scrn) at the same time, then past the image to something like power point or word or what ever image thing you have. :thumbsup:

Ok, I did that and here's the cropped image (Our farm in Sandwich). Hey...! It worked.

Here's a better idea (assuming you are using Windows 7 or Vista):

Find this icon"

It should be at Start ---> All Programs ---> Accessories ---> Snipping Tool.

Once there, launch it. Then, you can move the cursor anywhere you want, click, hold, and drag over anything you want to save. Once you let go of the mouse, it will automatically crop what you had selected and you can go to File ---> Save As (and save as file type .jpg), and BAM...you have a easy screen shot.

I upgraded to Windows 7 a few days ago I noticed this yesterday!! It's a very neat feature that I'll use a lot.

The thing that kills me, is that Vista has it! They just have it hidden under the accessories menu. I never knew Vista had it in the 2-3 years I had that OS.

I used Vista for two years and never knew it! Wow.. Good to know..

edit,
never mind, I found it after reading Silvy's post above..

Cool! I'll give it a try.

That thing is great! Thanks for pointing it out!:thumbsup:

My laptop with Vista doesn't seem to have the snipping tool. :confused5:
