That's what I use to do the shots used on my website, saves having to
do a QL to PC screen format transfer. Virtually every PC graphics
programs, including the ones supplied with Windoze, will let you
simply PASTE the picture into that program from the clipboard.

One tip - to make sure your pages load as fast as possible, crop or
resize the image to the required size, rather than letting the HTML
resize the image to the display required. Don't, for example, save a
640x480 picture onto your website for display scaled to say 100x100
(silly example) as the 1MB or whatever 640x480 would need to be
downloaded rather than the 50K or whatever 100x100. Might sound
obvious to an experienced programmer like you, Rich, but you'd be
amazed how many 'slow' websites (few QL ones in my experience
actually) do this. People seem to think the 'scaling' is being done on
the webserver or something and the picture is only downloaded in the
size etc required for display. Not true of course, your PC would
download the full 640x480 graphic and only then scale it to the
specified size!

Even though I'm aware of this now, I still find the odd picture on my
website guilty of this from the early days :-(
