How to make a screenshot
The screen capture. Why do we need to print screen? The reasons are many, but the main one being the illustration of tutorials. The catch is also the only "clean" to show what is happening on the screen. By contrast, photography, even with quality equipment, is absolutely prohibited because of the continuous refreshing of the display and the very high brightness monitors. Know that he is not required to install an application to take a screenshot. But when the needs become clearer, the use of software is necessary: this is the case when you want to capture a portion of the page when you want to display the cursor, etc.. We offer two solutions:

Solution 1: Make a screenshot with no software
In introducing this solution "Basic", we n'apprendrons little to most users. However, it is essential to know the basic functions, if only to see the limits.
1. Press the "Print Screen" on your keyboard. The image is temporarily stored in the clipboard. If you want to capture only active window and not all of the interface, use the key combination "Alt" + "Print Screen".
2. To save the image, use "Paint" features by default on all versions of Office. To open it, follow the following path: Start Menu> All Programs> Accessories> Paint
3. "Paste" the image in the window. To do this, use the keyboard Shortcuts Ctrl + V or go to the Edit menu> Paste.
4. On the File menu, choose Save. Paint then prompts you to rename your file, choose the location and the recording format. The bitmap 24 (extension. Bmp) default has the advantage of being a format that does little for the image compression. It is less universal than the Jpeg (For more information, please consult our guide JPEG, Raw ...
