Computer question regarding a Screen Saver photo...
I have a photo of my kids on my computer at work as my screen saver that I absolutely love.

Unfortunately, the original photo that I took was corrupted in my iPhoto at home.

Is there a way I can capture the photo on my screen saver as a jpeg?

Thanks!

1. I would try this.
Get an application that lets you edit screen savers.

Open the screen saver file with the photo on it in the application.

Then if the app has a copy function use that, or just use print screen to copy it to clipboard.

Then open paint, and paste it in.

7. Then it is on your hard drive.
And you can go in and find it and send it to yourself so you have it at home.

edit: How the fuck is a photo going to save a screen? Does it move? No. Does it fade in and out? No. Does it do anything but sit there and burn into a CRT? No.

12. Why do you have to be such an asshole?
I'm not a computer wizard, obviously...but that's no reason to be such an absolute fucking douchebag.
