How to create a print screen image with a live hyperlink
- Press PrtScn (you’ll see this on the top of your keyboard) to copy the page
- Open two browser windows on RedBubble
- Open your photoshop software, then paste the screen print onto a copy of an image you have used the paint tool to paint solid white as a background
- Crop the pasted printscreen image so only the page is visible and your personal computer browser tabs are not visible within the frame
- Resize to enlarge the image and fill the frame
- Add a drop shadow effect as an optional step for a nice effect
- Save it, upload it onto RedBubble, check option for sale in editing and make it visible to the public but add it to no groups, so that you may open it in mounted print for sale option, save your settings
- Right click on the image, check properties, highlight and pick up, copy the JPG Address/URL code, backspace and uncheck the option for sale, save and hide the image
- copy/paste/post it in a comment
- Add ! symbol immediately before and after the code
- Add the colon symbol : immediately after the last ! symbol
- Add/paste the URL link to the destination page to make the image a live hyperlink
Here is an example of the first one I created

You can also just paste the screen print into the Paint program in accessories and save it as a jpeg instead of a bitmap. In case you don’t have Photoshop.
Thanks!

Great, just what I’ve been looking for. Did you post it to my group Focus and Lighting? If not please do.
Sharon Mau replied
Aloha, I don’t know your name. Mahalo nui for your kind note. If you have your group journals and writings open for accepting entries, then I added it. I checked all the available groups I am a member of.

LOL, so sorry I’m Ann, my group was open for journals and I did accept it. I checked the group after making the comments.

yes I just finished doing this very thing for a friend in need! I use Paint in Accessories Sharon, and save as a jpg in My Pictures and add as a photo as an attachment, sounds easier to me, lol

On a mac with current OS
Use three keys at one time: command/shift/4
A target image appears on your screen. Just drag it like a marquee on the area you desire and let go of the mouse. You will see the thumbnail in png format saved for you on the desktop. Upload it and follow the linking instructions given by Sharon to use in RB.
