For information on how to capture and editing screenshots go to: -

 PNGs for Screenshots wiki.modplugin.org/index.php/Capturing_Screenshots

Everyone seems to have their favourite software for this. Some free ones are:

Windows Paint - Often ready loaded on nachines using windows operating systems

Irfanview - http://www.irfanview.com/

 Paint.net.-  http://www.filehippo.com/download_paint.net/ Picasa - www.sharewareguide.net/reviews/review-of-picasa.html A google app..

GIMP .    gimp.en.softonic.com/    For those that are really keen as it is quite a big app. and a bit more complex

One to pay for although you get a 30day free trial.

Gadwin - www.gadwin.com/download/

You can then put them on the desktop or in a file and  load them into the wiki.

Freegle has its own section for uploads.

In the toolbox on the left hand side you will find upload file. You will be take to a special page.

Click on upload and search for the photo/screenshot  on your computer. Upload it and as there is only one screenshot per page give it a unique title 

Using Images After you've uploaded a file, you can use it in an article, with some special wiki syntax to create the link.See Help:Images. or you can just put a link to it.

Your file gets its very own “File Description Page” within the File namespace of the wiki. You should edit this page to provide more information about the file. For example, many public wiki projects are quite sensitive to copyright issues, and so you should explain where you got the file from, and what its copyright status is, on the description page. Any other useful descriptive notes could also be added there.
