| How do I capture my screen to a non-static picture? I'm using windows | Taking a screenshot is surprisingly a lot easier than you might suspect. There is a key on your keyboard that says Print Screen on it (usually abbreviated as Print Scrn or PrntScrn depending on the keyboard used). Its on the upper right corner or your keyboard right next to the F1, F2, ....F12 buttons and right above the Insert and Delete keys.
1. When you want to take a screenshot, capture the image you want by pressing the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
2. The picture is now copied. Now go to MSPaint or any picture editing program you have (ex. Photoshop) and press the Ctrl button and V (Ctrl-V) at the same time. This will allow you to paste the image you just captured. You might get a pop-up message saying "The image on the clipboard is larger than the bitmap. Would you like the bitmap enlarged?", just click yes to that.
3. Now you can edit and save your picture to your hard drive. | | you mean recording video? try CamStudio | | Wow, thanks, both | | closed by Lord Head-Shot (2009-09-04 04:47:41) |
