Snipping Tool – easy screen shots
On Windows 7 the Snipping Tool is available on the Start Menu, or by typing “snipping tool” into the search box. When you open the Snipping Tool a box will appear and the cursor will be ready to capture the image of whatever you select (the box will go away once you start to drag the cursor to capture the image). If you close the box it closes the program, so if you don’t want to see it as you decide what you want an image of, you can minimize it.
If you click on New you have the ability to change the shape you want to capture. Free-form will capture whatever shape you make with the mouse. Rectangular Snip will allow you to capture whatever size image you would like. This is an easy way to capture images if you only want part of the screen or the window you have open. Window Snip will capture the image of whatever window you click on, and Full Screen Snip will take the image of everything you have on the screen. The default is the Rectangular Snip (or whichever “snip type” was used most recently).
Once you have captured your image a new window will open with the image so from there you can save, edit (with pen or highlighter tools) email, or copy the image.
