Tools of the Trade Tip 8

The eighth Tools of the Trade Tip is on how to do screenshots.  Screenshots are also referred to as using the PrtSc key, a screen dump, and doing a print screen.

Many people have hit the PrtSc key and have thought that the computer didn't do anything.  However, a picture of the screen was just copied in to memory.  The problem is how to get that screen shot to appear in a usable format.

One way to see this screen picture (referred to as PrtSc from now on) would be to open a photo editing software program and do a CTRL-V to paste it in.  The PrtSc can then be edited, cropped, added to, etc.  Here is a PrtSc I just did while I was writing this blog.

This is a cropped version showing just a part of the PrtSc above.

http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp tells about another method called Snag-It.  There are also some screen capture tools in some photo editing software such as Paint Shop Pro that I described in an earlier Tools of the Trade Tip posted here on AR.

To have the best tools available to you in buying or selling a home, give me a call and put my toolbox to work for you.
