There are couple of ways to
capture a screen in Windows.
So,the easiest of them is what we
will be going through here.
1. The first is by using the
default screen-capture key on
every computer,i.e The PrtScn
on your keyboard.
Locate it & let's start.
To take the shot
of everything
currently
displaying on
the screen
including all
open
windows,press
PrtScn .
This will be
automatically
placed in the
Clipboard.
To capture just
the active
window,press
Alt+PrtScn .
Now to save the
shots,open
Microsoft paint
by navigating to
Start »
Programs »
Accessories »
Paint and paste
it there.
Next,select
“File” from the
top menu and
choose “Save
as”
Finally,give it
any name you
want and choose
a directory to
save the image.
2. The second method involves
using the “SPINNING
TOOL”. This tool is by default
part of winidws8/7 &
Windows vista.
It is capable of capturing a
specified area of a page
instead of the whole screen as
with the previous method.
You can choose to use an
amoeba-like[irregular] shape,a
rectangle or capture the whole
screen.
Go to start » All
Programs »
Accessories »
Snipping Tool.
Select a snipping
type by clicking
on the arrow
next to “New”
button.
Select the
window or
portion of the
screen you want
to capture using
your mouse.
To highlight part
of the
screenshot,click
on the pen/
highlighter
button in the
menu.
Likewise,to
capture a menu/
drop-down
menu,press ESC
after you've
launched the
Snipping
tool,then open
the menu you
want to capture
& press Ctrl +
PrtScn .
THAT'S ALL FOR WINDOWS.
Mac OS has an in-built screen-
grabbing function,which enables
you to take shots by clicking on
some key combinations.When
these keys are pressed,a click
sound will be heard,then the
screen-shot will immediately be
saved in .PNG format.
To capture the
whole screen,press
Cmd + Shift + 3 all
at once.
To capture just a
portion of the
screen,press Cmd +
Shift + 4 .
Just drag the
crosshair that
appears around the
area to be captured.
To capture a
specific
window,press Cmd
+ Shift + 4 and
immediately after
that,hit the
Spacebar.
The crosshair will
then turn into a
small
camera,highlighting
all menus that can
be captured.
That's all.
I believe taking of screenshots
shouldn't be a difficult task for
you any longer.
