Turn drawings into sprites
Folks,
Is it possible to turn a drawing made by a sprite's pen into a sprite?
I am aware we can grab a portion of the image on the stage and make a sprite. But, is this the only way?
Thanks in advance.

Well, you can also "save picture of the stage" to a file and then import the file as a costume of a sprite. I sometimes use that method so that I can do some editting on it with a more powerful paint program like Paint.net before I bring it back into Scratch.

Re: Turn drawings into sprites
well if you want to go straight the best way is to use the grabbing the portion of the screen. If you want to edit then use the prt scrn button (If your using a lappie then don't worry. Most laptops have it too)

Yeah, but it stores the bitmap in a gif 256-color format which just ruins all the gradients you made xD

Thank you all guys for the quick answers.
Sun Labs Lively Kernel <http://research.sun.com/projects/lively/>, a Morphic-based environment like Squeak, implements that kind of behavior and I was curiuos about Scratch.
Cheers

Then, use Print Screen and paste/edit the image in a external program.
