Some of the Etchers screenshots are not in focus #11

Open Ampersandstorm opened 2 years ago

Ampersandstorm commented 2 years ago

Some Etcher screenshots in bootable-usb-using-macos.md and bootable-usb-using-windows.md are out of focus.

Many screenshot programs remove focus when you activate them. Here's how I've been fixing these:

  1. Launch the GNOME screenshots program and set a 5 second timer.
  2. Click take screenshot.
  3. Go into your virtual machine and do the thing.
  4. Copy screenshot from GNOME screenshot to clipboard.
  5. Paste screenshot into new GIMP project.
  6. Screenshot the needed section of the image in gimp project with another screenshot program.

Screenshot the needed section of the image in gimp project with another screenshot program.

If it makes the process any easier, I don't see why you couldn't just crop the image using GIMP (or any other photo editor) instead of screenshotting a second time. I personally use Gwenview for cropping and resizing images (Shift-R to resize, Shift-C to crop, and you can do it with click-and-drag or by entering the numbers.)
