How to make a screenshot of your computer screen
- You can look it up, or:
- on Windows, press the “PrintScr” key (upper right corner of your keyboard)
- on Mac OS X, Command+Shift+3.
- Then paste the clipboard into an application that can handle images and that you are familiar with (your best bet may be MS-Word).
How to do a screenshot of a full web page (beyond visible portion)
I have been meaning to find a screenshot software that can show the entire portion of a window – including the “scrollable” portion, i.e. more than the visible.
A long time ago, I used to do this with HyperSnap, but this software is not free.
Screengrab which I came by today, does it nicely – within Firefox:
Limitation: Screengrab requires you to access the context-menu on the page via right-clicking – some web sites prevent this!
How to work with screenshots in Windows XP or MAC OS X
On your keyboard, press key “Print Screen” to put a picture of the entire screen into the clipboard (for the active window, hold the ALT-key while pressing “Print Screen”).
You can paste this clipboard in any windows application, for example MS-Word or MS-Paint.
In order to use the built-in windows picture editor, click “Start”, click “Run”, type “mspaint” (w/o inverted commas).
In ms-paint, you can edit the picture, using a variety of tools in a menu on the left.
E.g. click on the eraser button to activate this tool, then use the mouse pointer to erase sensitive parts of the picture.
Or select the selection tool and with the mouse pointer, draw a selection frame inside the picture. Then you cut the selection to the clipboard and paste it to a new picture.
Finally, save the result (normally as JPEG, since this results in much smaller file size).
Here is a screencast that shows the entire screenshot cycle.
