How to Take and Send a Screenshot on Your PC in 3 Easy Steps
Taking and sending a screenshot on your PC is a simple process that can be completed in three easy steps.
Step 1: Capture the Screenshot. To capture the screenshot, press the “Print Screen” (PrtScn) key on your keyboard. This will take a snapshot of your entire screen and save it to your clipboard. If you only want to capture an active window, press Alt + PrtScn instead.
Step 2: Open an Image Editor or Email Client. Open an image editor such as Microsoft Paint or an email client like Outlook to paste the screenshot into it for editing or sending purposes respectively.
Step 3: Paste and Send Your Screenshot. To paste the screenshot into either program, press Ctrl + V on your keyboard or right-click inside of the program window and select “Paste” from the drop-down menu that appears. Once you have pasted it, you can edit it in Paint if desired before saving it as an image file (e.g., .jpg). Alternatively, if you are using Outlook, simply attach this file to an email message before sending it off to its intended recipient(s).
By following these three steps, taking and sending a screenshot on your PC should be quick and easy!
How to Use the Windows Snipping Tool to Capture and Send Screenshots
The Windows Snipping Tool is a useful utility for capturing and sending screenshots. It allows users to capture all or part of their screen, edit the image, and then save or share it with others. Here are the steps for using the Windows Snipping Tool:
1. Open the Start menu and type “Snipping Tool” into the search bar. Select “Snipping Tool” from the list of results to open it.
2. Once you have opened Snipping Tool, click on “New” in order to begin taking a screenshot of your screen or window. You can also select one of four snip types: Free-form, Rectangular, Window, or Full-screen snip by clicking on one of those options in the drop-down menu next to New.
3. After selecting your desired snip type, use your mouse cursor to draw around what you want to capture on your screen (or simply click once if you chose Full-screen). The area that you have selected will be highlighted in blue as you draw around it with your mouse cursor; when finished drawing around what you want captured press Enter/Return key on your keyboard or click anywhere outside of the selection area with your mouse cursor in order to take a screenshot of that area only (the rest will be grayed out).
4. Once taken, an editing window will appear where you can make any necessary edits before saving or sharing it with others; this includes adding text boxes and arrows as well as cropping and resizing images if needed (you can also undo any changes made here by clicking Undo at any time). When finished making edits click Save As… at which point a dialog box will appear allowing you to choose where/how this image should be saved (e.g., Desktop folder) as well as its file format (.png is recommended).
5 Finally, if desired send this image via email by opening up an email client such as Outlook Express and attaching this file directly from its saved location onto an outgoing message before sending off!
