This works for any screenshot you want to save, or post on a wiki, forum or elsewhere.

Take the screenshot

1) Make the screen look how you want it. The screenshot will be the whole screen (tho' you can edit if you want.)

2) Hit the Print Screen button.

Okay, now...

Turn into jpeg

3) Open Paint (or the equivalent)

4) Hit ctl + v - yes, you are "pasting" the saved screenshot into paint.

You now have a bitmap of the screenshot. You can edit this as with any bitmap in paint.

5) Under <File>, select <Save As>... a jpg or jpeg. (Or a .png/ping file - similar, and slightly smaller size.)
