Most guys dont know how to capture screenshots so you can add them in your own tutorials so i thought id quickly explain this here.
Really its very simple.. All you need to do is decide whether you want a FULL SCREEN screenshot of whatever you have on your PC or whether you only want a screenshot of the ACTIVE WINDOW/application running.
To capture full screen image press: PRINTSCREEN
To capture only active window hold ALT and press: PRINTSCREEN
[b][u]How to Capture a Screenshot using any version of Windows[/b][/u]:
1. Open any application you wish to take a screenshot of. Most videos will not let you take screenshots.. Ill just let you know that to start.
2. Once you have the screen/page you want to take a screenshot of all you have to do is press 'PRINT SCREEN' on your keyboard.
3. After pressing PRINT SCREEN you will need to open your favorite image editor like photoshop etc etc.. BUT WAIT.. You dont need photoshop.. You can use M$ Paint which is in every version of WINDOWS.. So if you dont have photoshop or other imaging software just use Microsoft Paint.. Its in the Programs Menu of the Start Menu Under Accessories..
4. Once you have your IMAGE EDITOR OPEN just start a new canvas. (eg. Click 'File' and then choose 'New'..)
5. Once the new blank page has come up just choose 'EDIT' from the main menu and choose to 'PASTE'. (you can also use CONTROL + V to PASTE).
6. Thats it.. You just captured your first screenshot.
If you dont want the FULL SCREEN of windows captures just HOLD the ALT key on your keyboard whilst pressing print screen.. Then it will only take a snapshot of the active window.
Hope that helps you all.
