Yooo wagwan my people, lots of people been asking me "YO FAM HOW YOU EDIT YOUR SCREENSHOT LIKE THAT?" "HOW COME YOUR SO QUICK WITH YOUR SCREENSHOTS" Well that's because I use the /blindfold method instead of a chatlog parser. (YUCK). However some people get confused with the blindfold method when it comes to "blending" your text into the screen. None the less, I'm going to share a quick guide with you guys on how to edit screenshots using the blindfold method WITHOUT doing any type of blending to your text. (Thank god for the blindfold tool). This method is nothing new, I learned it a while back during my time on LSRP. Hope you guys enjoy.

 

NOTE: THIS EDITING STYLE IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE GTA ON STEAM ONLY!!!

Step 12.) Using the rectangular marquee tool, you will select the text you want to include in your screenshot.
Step 13.) Once you have selected the text you want to include in your SS: Ctrl + C then Ctrl + N. Press OK without touching the dimensions.
Step 14.) A new page will open to fit your text only, once it opens. Press Ctrl + V to paste the text there.

Step 17.) After removing the black background click & drag the text into the blank SS tab and position it the way you want.

Step 19.) Once done, still using the rectangle tool you will add your own black background to your text.
