SCREEN SAVER CAPTURE
************************************************
           	 A small survey conducted showed that about 75-80 % of computer users have a screen saver which is a slideshow in one form or the other. Most of these screen savers display a series of nice photographs. Often, you wish that you could somehow extract these images separately and store them on your hard-disk or get them printed. Screen Saver Capture is the solution. 
	This program allows you to capture images contained in a slideshow screen saver and store them on your hard-disk. More often than not pressing the PrintScreen key, unfortunately, will not capture the screen saver image on your screen. This is attributed to two reasons.

1. The screen saver creator has put in a segment of code in the screen saver program that detects the PrintScreen key being depressed and takes evasive action.
2. By depressing the PrintScreen key, you are actually interrupting the screen saver from continuing and hence the screen saver stops. 

But, this program allows you store such images separately.

HOW TO USE
************************************************
	Screen Saver Capture is very simple to use.
Select the screen saver you want to capture images from.
Select the folder where you want to store the images.
Type in the delay between photographs in your screen saver(in seconds).
Click Start Capture button.

Please make sure you have TURNED OFF all transition effects from your screen saver settings. You can restore them later on. 
Also make sure that the time entered in the delay between photographs text box is the same as that in your screen saver settings. 

Since Screen Saver capture stores all images as bitmaps, you might be required to convert them to JPEG format later on to save disk space. Any image editor (like MS Paint or ACDSee (c)) can do the  job.

Tip: If you are using a shareware screen saver, you can capture all the images and then make a similar FREEWARE screen saver on your own. But make sure that the EULA of your shareware screensaver doesn't prohibit you from doing this.
