Printing images from video games

Ordinarily, you only see your favorite characters in a video game on your video monitor. However, you can print out a single frame of these characters using an ink jet printer, and enjoy it as a still picture.

Your computer has to have a video capture function in order to import images from a video game. If you don't already have this feature, you will have to install a video capture card. You can use an ordinary color ink jet printer for the output. Image editing software is useful for touch up the image.

When a video image is frozen, it looks much coarser than you might expect. Use image editing software to enhance its appearance. You can then use word processing software to provide an appropriate caption for the image.
