Previously, if you want to capture a screen (or do a screenshot), you do it the hard way. You click the Print Screen<\/em> button and them paste it into say MSPaint<\/em> or the likes. Then you crop what you want from the whole screen pictured. Snipping Too<\/em>l<\/em><\/strong>, in my opinion, is very very easy and comes very handy.<\/p>\n

In nearly all newer versions of Windows (at the very least Windows 7 and up), you can find this amazingly helpful tool. You can find it easily through the search functions, just type Snipping Tool. Or if you are a frequent user like me, it will be in your Start Menu.<\/p>\n

When you click on the icon, you will get a small ‘toolbox’ (if you may), to start your snipping adventure. It will look like this.<\/p>\n

To start snipping a shot of the current screen, or any portion of it, just click on New<\/em><\/strong>. When you click on that button, the background will dim slightly, like so.<\/p>\n

\"Snipping<\/a><\/p>\n

You will then get a cursor, which you can click, hold down and drag to cover the portions of the screen you want to snip (or capture). You get a boxed frame of the region to snip. Alternatively, you can edit this frame to be rectangle or free-form. When you lift your finger (and release the hold of said cursor), you will get a preview of what you just snipped.<\/p>\n

If you are happy with it you can copy the image somewhere else, like a word document or a powerpoint<\/em> slide. You can also save the file for later use. If you are not happy with it, just click New<\/strong><\/em> again and restart.<\/p>\n
