When I die I know that the boxes of old family photographs and albums will be looked at and then put in the attic or maybe dumped so I decided that I would scan them and place them on a digital slide show and then burn it to a DVD so that they can be viewed by future generations on TV where they will be easily accessible.
I spent many hours scanning and sorting the photographs chronologically and then I thought why not take the project a little further and build a family tree to place at the start of the slide show.
At about that time I read about a piece of free genealogy software called MyHertiage and I found it reasonably easy to use. So far I have got a family tree of three generations of photographs and I didn't want to go any further until I knew if I could capture that family tree and move it onto the slide show program. The only way that I could work out how to do that was by using a screen grab and saved it as a JPEG and it looked alright.
However, when I imported the result to Pinnacle which is the slide show software the screen grab was out of focus.
Can anyone help or should I be using a different method to capture the family tree image?
