thank you, I had been wondering what people used to draw their schematics and lay out their pcbs, I just kept forgetting to ask

Works for some so far I guess.
 I wish there were a better format, BMP or bit map is a bit limiting...with only one file of type: 'sch' there is a way to make it go into photopucket and provide a link to a readable schematic online.
 Now the schematic is unreadable, only rectangles where there were once values, hash marks instead of wires, etc. general smallness and fuzziness.
 I'm certain like everything else I get stumpoed on, 'it's easy'.

I select "copy schematic bitmap to clipboard" then past it into Photoshop.  I crop the extra space out, then reduce the size by 50%.  Works out pretty good for me.

Then for the PCB I have the colors reversed, Black for the background, Black for the Grid markers, and White for the traces.  I then press the "Print Screen" button on the keyboard, and past that into Photoshop.  Again, I crop out the unneeded area.  I invert the colors so that the Black becomes white, and the white black.  I rezise the DPI so that it prints at the right size, then call it done.
