Unsure how to print pictures.

Post #1by Goonster » 13.01.2008, 14:39

Hi . I would like to print off a picture of Cassini/Saturn . Normally when I choose something to print I right click on the mouse , pick `print preview', check everything is OK then click on `print ' and thats it .
With Celestia right clicking is used to change your view of what you are looking at . So I pressed F10 to capture the image , expecting to have the option to print available from there . Instead you are asked to name the file and save . I am unsure where to proceed from here as there is no print option .
:?

Use File -> Capture Image and save it somewhere. You can then print that image from the image file. Or as bh mentioned, PrintScr.
Current Setup:
Windows 7 64 bit. Celestia 1.6.0.
AMD Athlon Processor, 1.6 Ghz, 3 Gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
