This is definitely not for those who know this stuff already but there are still a lot of people out there who have no idea how to cature screenshots on their computer. It’s dead easy as you do not need to download any special software. This comes in handy if you need to post a particular screenshot on your blog…perhaps you’re trying to explain how a particular software works or something.
The only thing you need for this is a keyboard. Yes, you heard me right, a keyboard. You also need a photo editing software. Anyone will do, a very simple one like Paint or sophisticated ones like Adobe Photoshop.
Now here’s the little trick:
1. Locate the “print screen” button on your keyboard.
The look and location of the button might be different depending on your type of keyboard.
2. Press this button and you now have the whole screen on your clip board.
3. Open your favourite image editing software and press CTRL + V or CTRL + ALT + V
4. You can now crop or edit the image to your taste and save.
This is the simplest way to capture screenshots on windows. There are more advanced ways but hey, I don’t actually need them because this looks convenient and easy for me. It’s what I’ve been stuck with for years.
