HOW TO TAKE SCREEN SHOTS FROM YOUR PC (SNIPPING TOOL)

This will be a short tutorial, I guess most of you must have known this feature before now. Well for those that don’t, Snipping tool is one of the nice applications that accompanies the windows operating system. Starting from windows 7 and above,.. sorry but if you are using windows 7 Starter version, this feature is not there. So what’s the snipping tool all about? Well most times I find out that in order to capture an information in a particular environment in their PC or take snapshots in their PC, they usually use the “print screen” option in their keyboard. Well the difference between the print screen option and the snipping tool is that the print screen takes a snapshot of all that is in the screen without taking note of a particular area user might want to use and buttress his point. Snipping tool gives you a tool you can use to capture only the particular area you which to talk about.

HOW TO USE THE SNIPPING TOOL

Go to your start menu  and type in snipping tool in the search box. When it brings up the snipping tool option, select it. 

It will open up in a new window, when it does, click on new. 

 It will bring up a + sign,.. now that’s the tool you will use to select the particular area you want to snap or capture. 

 Usually once you click and drag to a certain spot it will capture the area then click on save in the new windown that will pop out and choose the file name u which to save it with.

The snipping till has other tools like the pen, highlighter and eraser that you can use to buttress or showcase a particular stuff or erase unnecessary information.

THAT’S ALL.
