Re: Vector Drawing to JPEG more specific problem

No problem. You can have your screen in a file if this is what you
want. Press PrintScreen key to copy the desktop to clipboard; open a
bitmap application and choose "file" - "new" from the menu; paste the
clipboard into the new file; crop the image if needed and save.
You'll maybe need to specify the image size for the new file when
prompted, depending on the software; chose your screen resolution;
Adobe Photoshop for example will do it automatically when the
clipboard contains a picture.

Best regards,
Work.
