.:How to make a Preview Image

Published:
12.1K Views

Description

Just a quickie, so don't expect anything too fancy.
While browsing i see journal skins/templates without a proper preview. That is not only annoying if you check for miscats but also bad if someone is interested in using a skin, but has no idea how it looks like.
And it lowers chances that anyone will use that skin...

So there might be people that have no idea how to make a nice preview and hopefully this will help them. In case they ever find it :D


Shortcuts for MAC:
Shift+CMD+3: screenshot of the whole screen

Shift+CMD+4: lets you select the part of the screen you need (without cropping)

Thanks for ~BoomBox-Creations
