Anyone here really good with computers??? I am trying to get this picture the before love signs picture and the after love signs picture... and I cannot find it anywhere where we can save it on our files.. to post the image...
I know that the drawing is by Handelsman 1978, the new york time magazine...
Hopefully, someone has better luck finding both before and after pictures by Handelsman where we can save and be able to post.

this is as far as I got and I can't save the picture.. and here it only shows the before: http://books.google.com/books?id=1LblNr3OnOsC&pg=PP22&lpg=PP22&dq=handelsman+1978+Linda+goodman+love+signs&source=bl&ots=OX6M-Q-4gl&sig=cRByGEydRL1znYd1xYB3nfhPe0k&hl=en&ei=kqooS96 YCYGesgPootXBDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CAsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=&f=true

I didn't check out the link. Is the picture at the link? If so, you can do a PrintScreen, and then open your graphics program (even MS Paint), and choose Paste, and the screen shot will appear there for you to edit out the extraneous stuff leaving only the picture. I'm not terribly familiar with Paint, but I think Peace Angel could probably help you with those specifics.

Silverstone, if you tell me where to get the After one, I'll post it here.

If you have a copy of "Love Signs" you can scan it.

As far as copyright goes, the picture is signed so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Yin, you rock
You are a pro

I'll see if I can find the "after picture" And, yes, it's signed so i think it's cool.

Thanks again, Yin and AG! I scanned it and went to photobucket.com and changed the color.

Yin, I am curious as to how you got it to save from the google link, as the photo was within inside the book, and it wouldn't let me copy and paste. Did you do a Print screen? But then how did you just get the photo and not the whole page? Can you show me the process, please?

Cheers..

Hi Silverstone,
I did do a PrintScreen, then pasted the picture in MS Paint. You can edit it there - cut off the excess white space and whatnot from the page and then save the resulting image to your Desktop first and then download it to tinypic.com
Let me know if that makes sense. Always happy to help here.

I was going to scan my own copy of Love Signs today. Glad to see that you did it.

I'm glad it worked for you I mean there are 20 ways to skin a cat.

By that I mean there so many ways to do a task on a PC, hence the reason why programers and developers always fight with one another, over the way to do things.

I whould have just clicked on
page->Save ->Save page as HTML and get the picture that way if printscreen fails.

The picture will appear with the page you saved.

Is there a certain MS Paint down load you suggest, Yin or anyone else?

SilverStone

If you're using a Microsoft operating system it's part of the program. Go to the Start menu, then All Programs, then Accessories and Paint is in there.

You can use any other graphics application like Presentation in OpenOffice or PowerPoint in MS Office. There'll be something on your computer you can use. When it comes time to saving the image, save it as a ".jpg" (or JPEG) file.

Thanks PA, I got it... I fixed it under painting, and then saved it on my pictures, placed it back in photobucket and took off the middle part where you can see the line. Thanks! I never really worked with pitures before.. always something new to learn

Good stuff SilverStone. Glad it worked out for you. You had a few angels in here. Nice to see that. And yes, always something new to learn. My favourite part.
