How to create Screenshots?

Hi,

Making screenshots has never been easy. Previously, in old days, when you want to take a screenshot of your existing screen and send to other person as image/picture file in JPG format, it was never easy unless you have imaging softwares like Photoshop or at least the MS Paint.

Now, things getting more simple, to take your screenshot, you can just open the capturing software, and straight away you can cut the screen selecting which position you want to make the screenshot (not necessary for you to capture the whole screen), and what ever you are capturing, immediately get saved into JPG image. Multiple screen you capture, multiple JPG, this makes life totally easy.

I will first tell you the classic way of capturing screenshots (printscreen),
In your keyboard, look for ‘Print Screen’ button. Normally they use short form like ‘PrtSc’ which means the same. Click on the button, then open MS Words or Powerpoint, straight away click on the ‘Paste’ button, you will see the screenshot that you captured being put there as a image/picture. You can capture as many screen as you want through the 'Print Screen' button and every time after capturing, you must Paste them into the MS Words or Powerpoint.

To make things more easy, the modern way of capturing screenshots, just download and install any screen capturing software. I personally suggest ScreenHunter since it is free and it works fine for me even in Windows 7. Everytime you need to capture screenshot, just open this software and click on the Capture button, straight away it will create the JPG file and save to your desired folder. You can set the default folder in the settings.

There is an option in the ScreenHunter which lets you to capture 'Rectangle Area'. This means, when you capturing using this option, instead of capturing the whole screen, the software will give you selector cursor to simply select any part of your screen. This is wonderful way of making anything visible on your screen to be in JPG picture format.

Have fun guys!
