I have been trying to print images of white text on a black background.
I have tried various ways to convert the image to black text on a white
background to save on black ink when printed.
I will only be doing a few copies as the only need is to take a few jokes to the pub!
See below for a typical example of the job.
http://wwwscala.blogspot.com/2007/07...one-wrong.html
I would like to print just the joke in the centre.
I have been using "Print Screen" & pasting the text to a new image.
I have Adobe PS7 & have tried everything I can think of to no avail.
Can anyone help please?
TIA

Cruise Gone Wrong

A Cruise in the Pacific goes all wrong, the ship sinks. There were only
3 survivors: George, Darren and Deirdre. ...

It's just text, not an image. Copy and paste it into your word processor
and format it to taste.

Thank you BTS! I had a feeling there was a simple way of doing it
but my aged brain only tried the too technical methods.

How old is your brain?

By using your word processor for this kind of task, you can also correct
spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors, if that is important.

This one you can just print:

Why is "George" such a popular guy in jokes?

My brain is 66 years old but its capacity was reduced when it was 61.
I was riding my bike when I was run over by an 85 year old motorist.
I got compo but I would rather swap the compo for my brain back. 8^)

Aha, your brain is only months older than my brain.

Oooh. Sorry to hear that.

The only encounter I've ever had with a 'motorist' was when a
six-wheeled service truck with an inattentive driver pulled from a
parking lot directly into my path. There was a larger truck blocking the
view. Speed was slow, and the only damage was to the motorcycle - and my
full-face helmet.

I was watching a car at an intersection, the lady was looking left and
right (lost).

Bitc# pulled in front of me, then off to the side of the road; I
figure she saw what happened and was letting me pass, I sped up and
she flipped a U-turn.

Of course I hit her, there was no way to avoid it. I flew over the
handle bars and hit the drivers window face first, Small kid standing
in front seat saw the whole thing. - yes officer he was wearing a seat
belt )

I was wearing a full face helmet, ended up with just a sore wrist.

They would not press attempted murder charges like I wanted, not even
an option.

I had terse words for the driver of the truck as well. <g>

Lovely things, aren't they? Those helmets, I mean.

I had city police and an ambulance on the scene in less than two
minutes. I didn't need the ambulance of course, but the 911 callers
didn't know that.

I tried to get the cops to issue a ticket for .. something .. but
failed. He did lose his job, though; I guess that was enough. And his
insurance covered everything.
