Screen-capture software: How do I know if I have it / get it if I don't?

[Hissyspit]

I want to do screen captures? Do I have it already on my laptop? Where can get it if I don't?

1. You should be able to

Hit print screen. If you open a photo software (ms paint) and paste.

6. I've got Paint and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

I don't see anything about Print Screen.

I didn't know you meant a print screen button, but I've got it saved in Photoshop, now.

4. If you use firefox you could dl a copy of the extension, "scrapbook". It

is wonderful and easy to use.

5. Here...

You should have this button on your keyboard:




Hit that key, open up Paint, go to edit, then paste.

10. LOL No one has EVER pointed that button out to me, and I haven't

ever noticed it, probably since I first got a computer.

14. Thanks! I got it everybody. I have two articles on the DU front page

right now, one above the other, and I wanted to capture that for personal posterity.

I saved it to Adobe Photoshop.

8. I remember that button! From when I first got my computer!

Duh... Thanks, Ariana Celeste. No one EVER pointed that button out to me before. (And I don't mean this sarcasticly.)

9. haha no problem

I had to ask my SO how to get a screen capture. He said, hit the print screen key. I looked all over the keyboard, and didn't see it. He had to point it out. :blush: :D

12. If you do that + the Alt key

You will only get a capture of the program you're currently in, as opposed to the whole screen! :)

[Hissyspit]

13. Do you mean:

"Function + Alt + Prnt Scrn" or "Function + Alt + Prnt Scrn"?

Thanks for the tip!

[LynzM]

16. Just Alt + PrntScreen

Should just capture whatever window is "active" when you do it, leaving out background/taskbar/etc. :)
