Copy of an Image from Watchtower library

[7wonders]

Is there a way to copy pictures from the online library to display at meeting to drive a point home?  I can't get my windows 10, ctrl V to copy the image and when I right click using the mouse, that option is not there.  Any help will be appreciated.

This isn't the most technical way since I don't know the program all that well. But you could screenshot it and then crop the screenshot in paint to just the image you want.

This is a great way to capture pictures/images, it's free also - https://www.screenpresso.com/

I’m not sure what you mean when you right click on an image there’s no option to save, because for me that feature has always existed in WOL and I’ve been using it extensively to show pictures at our meetings. You can even right click on a video or a music file to save them.

Using the WOL I can right-click and get the dropdown box that is shown above and just save the picture

 

However, if you are using a Windows PC and that does not work for you - you can use the Windows Snipping Tool

 

 

It is a very easy app to use and it comes with Windows

 

 

This will allow you to grab what you want and save it as an image to your PC

I guess Wil refers to the Watchtower Library on DVD, not the online version.

 

I can think of two solutions:

- Use the online version wol.jw.org and save the image from there.

- Capture the image from screen. In Windows 10 just press Ctrl-SHIFT-S, select the picture, copy and then paste it where you want.

If it is the WTL from DVD, you can do as  John mentioned, use the snipping tool.  Just click on the "thumbnail" picture in the article to make it larger, select the snipping tool (I keep a copy on the taskbar), select "new" and surround the picture with the selection box and choose the "save" icon at the top.  It will be saved as a Jpg file ready to use.

 

If you want to enhance the picture, Windows has a photo app (program) that will allow that.  If you want to resize or mark the photo, use the Windows Paint program.

 

Obviously, if you have the WTL you have Windows and all the programs or apps come free with Windows.

@7wonders are you referring to wol.jw.org or WT library for windows (which you either install from DVD or from an installer that you must first download from jw.org)?

You are right, I must have read it too quickly.
