| Just a simple question - I'm wanting to take a screenshot and for the life of me I can't remember how to do it! I've got Windows XP. |

Press PrtSc (Print Screen) and paste the result into a new document in your favourite editor and save |

Interesting, I always use Alt-Print Screen then Control-C to do it.
The things you learn, cool.

I hit printscreen twice. I don't know why. It doesn't actually copy it to the clipboard if I only hit it once. :-> Then I open up MSPaint (or whatever image editor you use) and do paste/ctrl-v.

When using Windows applications such as MS Word, Print Screen will take an image of the entire monitor screen, ALT + Print Screen will take only the currently active window/ dialog box.
I'm an IT Trainer so I use both a lot when creating user manuals.
I tend to PASTE mine into PaintShopPro because it's quicker for me to greyscale and then select a small area of the screen before pasting into my manual document.
I found that using Photoshop wasn't as easy because when I selected part of the image and did a copy and paste elsewhere I would always end up pasting the whole image - I had to crop and save in Photoshop before I could copy and paste into the manual.
Uugh!

What version of Photoshop were you using? I have always been able to select just an area of an image and then copy it to whatever I need to. I'm using version 6. |
