I am having problems getting a screen capture. Even after I paste the picture into IrfanView, crop it, save it to file and reopen it, the problem is still there. It shows correctly in Irfanview, but the thumbnail is black and if post it, like to this site, it appears black.
I have heard that this may be because the PNG image is "transparent" and the background is black, so what you are seeing is the background, and because IrfanView shows the image and ignores the alpha channel, that is why it views correctly in IrfanView. Is this right?
Here is the image (after being cropped, saved and uploaded):
If this is the problem, how can I remove the alpha channel or make it non-transparent so that the image can be seen?
