Print Screen

Many times we've wanted to get the exact image which is shown on screen, but we may not know how to, and we may even take our digital camera and take a photo of it However this is way too complicated and there is a way far simpler to do it, and that's what I'm going to teach you in this blog.

If you take a look at your keyboard, you may find letters numbers and on the right hand side on the top of the keyboard you can find various buttons with letters incribed on them. Maybe yu've taken a look at it or maybe you've never noticed, but those buttons are there for something, especially the one I'm going to talk in this blog, the Print Screen Button.



Once you cclick this button, nothing will occur, not a flash, not a sound, nothing, but something actually happens. The image is saved in the computer, and once you click Control+v the image is put in the program. Some programs you can use include: Paint, Open Office Draw, Photoshop, Fireworks, Freehand or others which are more powerful.

However, this technique only applies to a windows computer. Ifyou're using a Mac computer, you should do the following:

Look at your keyboard, if you press the buttons Command+Shift+3 the image will be saved as a screenshot by default, and in this case the computer will make a sound, the sound of a normal camera taking a photograph. You then need to see the desktop and the image will be saved there as a screenshot. You can also use Command+Shift+4 which will allow you to select the part of the screen you want.




You then go to the desktop and you will see that the screenshot is saves as Image. You cast copy it and paste it to the document you want.

That's all you need to know about how to do a screenshot.
