Of course there are other programs available now to make this process easier. However, it never hurts to know the original way of doing things. This is the manual way of doing it.

Anyway I also notice that work done in PSP and later on saving it as JPG/JPEG will not produce a good image. So snagit help me to capture my work in PSP and then later saving it as jpeg rather than saving it as JPEG/JPG from within PSP. Snagit is very good. I like Paint Shop Pro 7 very much.

I can't remember the name or URL, but I'm sure it's easy to find. Andy There’s also a firefox plugin that does similar, including capturing more of the window than is currently displayed on-screen.

For simple jobs, as you say Lynn, then print screen and a graphic editing program will do. Snag It is more of an industrial strength screen capture utility which allows the user to capture just a portion of a screen, a scrolling window, and open application, snag all the images from a web page, and even take quick video of the screen. What makes it nifty is that it has a basic editor built in so you can quickly crop, add borders, and do various visual effects to an image <em>or</em> you can have it send the screen shot to another program, such as Photoshop, for more advanced editing. Definitely great to have around if you do a lot of tutorials or are in a field which requires lots of screen snapping. :) ~ Teli I have a funny client story with the print screen button and Photoshop, but I’ll leave that for another day. :)

Anyway, yes - Paint generally doesnt give good results. There are plenty of other graphic program options though...

Many people don't realize it's that easy to grab an actual shot of the screen. I tried it with the CTRL PrtScn before and the quality was terrible but I think that must of been because I was pasting it into Windows 'Paint' and not a good graphics program.

For example, a dialog message box or a browser window.

I also used it to grab a full salespage I did for a client and so when people want to see what I've done I can have a copy of that page even if the client has taken it down :) I’ve been using the free trial of Snag It! and it is a great program.
