Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Partial Screenshots on Asus Chromebooks

Taking partial screenshots on Asus Chromebooks is a great way to capture specific parts of your screen without having to take a full screenshot. This guide will walk you through the steps for taking partial screenshots on an Asus Chromebook.

1. Open the window or application that you want to take a screenshot of.
2. Press and hold down the “Ctrl” and “Shift” keys, then press the “Window Switcher” key (located in between the “Ctrl” and “Alt” keys).
3. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair shape, which you can use to select an area of your screen that you want to capture in your screenshot. Click and drag your mouse over this area until it is highlighted, then release your mouse button when finished selecting the area.
4. The selected area will be captured as an image file on your computer’s desktop or downloads folder (depending on how you have set up Chrome OS). You can now open this image file with any photo editing software or share it with others online as desired!

How to Capture Specific Areas of Your Screen with a Partial Screenshot on an Asus Chromebook

Taking a partial screenshot on an Asus Chromebook is a simple process. To begin, press the “Ctrl” and “Switch Window” keys simultaneously. This will cause your screen to dim slightly, indicating that you are now in screenshot mode.

Next, use your mouse or trackpad to select the area of the screen you wish to capture. You can do this by clicking and dragging over the desired area until it is highlighted in blue. Once you have selected the desired area, release your mouse or trackpad button and a preview of your partial screenshot will appear at the bottom right corner of your screen.

If you are satisfied with what you have captured, click on “Save” at the bottom right corner of your screen and choose where you would like to save it (e.g., Google Drive). If not, click on “Cancel” instead and start again from step one.

Once saved successfully, you can access your partial screenshot from its designated location whenever needed!
