How to Capture & Cite Images from the Internet for Media Rich Papers about New Media Art
    Capture screen shots of the Selected Site from the Internet: After you find a site to critique capture screen shots of some of the pages by arranging the windows on the screen and then click: Apple, shift, 3 together. You will hear a camera click if your sound is turned up. Look on the HardDrive for "Picture 1." Open PhotoShop and crop the picture. Check the image size to be no wider than 6 inches (to fit on your 8.5 x 11 essay pages). Check the memory size of the image to be under 75K. Save as .jpg or .gif format. Create and place in an"Images-Web Art Critique" folder. Be sure to label each screen shot with its URL and date captured. Copy and paste the URL into the Scrapbook and then paste into your Word document under the inserted picture and in the Reference list at the end of the paper.

    Capture images from the Internet Site: Some of your discussion should be about specific images in the artist's Website. To capture an Internet image, click on it and hold the mouse down until a menu appears. Then slide over with the mouse held down so that "save image to disk" is highlighted. Then let go of the mouse (unclick). Look at the top box to see where the image will be saved.Make sure it goes into you folder "Images-Web Art Critique." Once you have saved the image you can insert it in your Word document or open it through PhotoShop to manipulate (resize, highlight an area, crop, etc.) before placing it in your paper. If you have manipulated the image in the capture for it "Figure 1: state the image was manipulated and give its URL and date captured." Also list the artist, image title, and URL in the reference list at the end of the paper.
