Take a snapshot your computer screen

ScreencapThis tip is handy when you’re preparing computer training material. It’s also a quick way to get a picture from web content to use in a document or presentation. Take a picture of your Desktop, or a snapshot of the contents of a window.

  1. Position items on your Desktop as you want them to be in your picture,
  2. Tap the Print Screen (PrtScn) key -generally next to the F12 key-
    to capture a picture of your entire desktop;
    or
    Alt+PrtScn to capture a picture of the contents of the active window only.
  3. Now, you can open most Windows-based products and Paste the new picture where desired.

If you want to modify the screenshot:

  1. Open your graphics program
  2. Paste the image,
  3. Modify as desired and Save.
