Take A Screenshot - Comments Page 1

You can also paste the screenshot into Word and use the picture toolbar to crop and resize.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will be teaching some basic technology applications this coming year. When I found out that I would be in a mini-lab without a projector instead of the main lab, I was unsure of how I was going to proceed in demonstrating some steps.

I was thinking ahead that being able to putting screen shots illustrating some points that I want the kids to notice into a presentation they can access off the network might be the way to go. Now I know how to do it. It might just help me be better planned for class as well.

I was found a freeware / shareware program that makes screenshots much easier to do. It's called PrintKey. PrintKey overrides the built-in screenprint function, allowing you to print, save, or edit the screen. It even allows you to capture just a section of the screen.

The free version may be downloaded from: http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/printkey_info.htm or google printkey for other sites.

One can also just print the active window by pressing Alt-Print screen. It saves the cropping step. Cheers!

I save my screen shots to MS Paint all the time, but here's an added refinement. When it comes time to actually save the image in MS Paint save it as a GIF or JPG file. The default is BMP whose file size is just way too big most of the time. Yes, the fidelity is first rate, but most of the screen shots I do aren't going to be shown on an IMAX screen. Have mercy on your recipient.

Is there a similar way to make screenshots in Linux?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sure, there are lots of ways. See http://linuxreviews.org/quicktips/screenshots/

I have the print screen key on my keyboard but nothing happens whrn I press it.I have bin using a free program called MWSnap. http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/index.html

EDITOR'S NOTE: Nothing *obvious* happens when you take a screenshot. But the screen image is stored on the system clipboard, waiting to be pasted into your favorite graphics program.

check out PrintScreen at www.gadwin.com
lots of options...

Thanks for this information, which I just found on Google. I thanked you in my blog too: http://blog.feefifoto.com/2008/03/post.html
