#How to take a screenshot on windows 10 series#
Once you have selected the area of your choice you will be faced with a series of tools split into two toolbars. You can now click and drag over the area to take a screenshot. As long as the application is active on your computer, pressing this button will freeze and darken your screen. Lightshot is my favorite way of capturing portions of my screen, once you have it installed it will take use of the previously mentioned Prt Scr button on your keyboard. There are many options, each with their own unique features that you can take advantage of. If you want a more powerful option for capturing screenshots then your best bet is to look at external programs and applications that can partake in this for you. Click, hold and drag over the area you want to capture, once you let go the file will automatically be saved to your clipboard, again you can paste this into a program of your choice, or into paint by pressing Ctrl + V or using the paste option in the file. If you only want to capture a part of your screen or a specific area then you can press Shift + Win + S, you will notice that your cursor will change into a cross and your screen will appear to whiten out. By default the image should be saved into your pictures folder, in a subfolder called “Screenshots”. When you do this the screen should dim for a split second, this will mean the file has been saved successfully.
You can also save the screenshot as a file by pressing the print screen button on your keyboard simultaneously with the windows key. You can paste it into your selected program or paint by pressing “Ctrl + V” on a new document.
You can then paste the image into any supporting program to be able to see it, or edit it. When you have what you wanted displayed onto your screen you can press this button to save a screenshot of if to your clipboard. Please note that when you take a screenshot this way it will capture your entire display, if you are using multiple monitors it will capture what is being shown on all of them. This button is usually located on the upper right hand side of the keyboard. An example of what it could say is “Prt Sc”. Windows by default comes with a built in print screen or screenshot option, on your keyboard you will be able to find a button that is made for performing this task, depending on your keyboard it may be labelled differently, however it will be something that represents “Print Screen”.
