Making a Screen Shot w/ Paint Shop Pro


Here are two of the many ways to make Screen Shots for when you write tutorials for others. I trust you will not use these techniques to swipe images without permission from websites! Right?

Method #1
Keyboard in English. I don't know what the difference might be for keyboards in other countries. I understand they are different.

Keyboard capture


In the keyboard above the red arrow point to the Print Screen button.
1.On your screen open the image or process you want a screen capture of.
2.Press the Print Screen Button placed as indicated above in the photograph. This captures a graphic image of what is on your computer's screen into your copy buffer.
3.Launch PSP.
4.Edit/Paste as New Image and crop and resize as necessary.

Method #2
If you do not have a Print Screen button, then PSP has a feature you can use as well. This requires either a second copy of PSP open or that you are capturing an image outside of PSP, as it won't work inside PSP.
Below are the instructions for that.
1.Get on your screen the image or process you want to capture.
2.Open PSP if it isn't open yet.
3.File/Import/Screen Capture. See below:

Screen capture


4.Locate the screen window that has what you want captured.
5.Use your mouse to Right click to indicate this is the place where you will be doing the screen shot.
6.Once you have right clicked ONE time, then left click on one corner of what you want to capture. Left click again on the opposite corner.
Your computer will then take the image automatically into PSP and open it for you.
You will need to practice this a few times to get it to work, like as not!

Then Done! hope this can help.
