A link to a discussion of this would be immensely appreciated.I want to write some simple PC tutorials. How does one save a screenshot as an image file?
Try the ALT+PrintScreen button to capture a screen shot of the application. CTRL+Printscreen will capture the entire windows screen. I usually just use the Alt+Printscreen option. Paste it into a program like word.





another really cool application for making tutorials is a product called Camtasia Studio. This program will record your every move of the mouse or keyboard and it can be played back like a video.

Yes yes you can use the typical print-screen as a few people have already explained, but trust me when I tell you, go and download PrinkScreen2000 from PCworld. I absolutely love this program, its so easy to use and it just works better than doing the old printscreen.

on your keyboard just right of the ';F12'; key is ';print scrn / sysrq'; button push that when you want to take a snapshot of the screen


then open ms paint and paste it


save it as a .Jpg
you can get a screen shot application that can capture the screen. Just google for free screen capture. Good luck
press the printscreen key on your keyboard, it's usually on the top row on the right of F12. Open Microsoft Paint, then select ';paste'; from the edit menu. You can also paste into word documents etc.





Pressing ALT+PrintScreen will capture just the current window.
Use the print screen key - to the right of f12. and then paste it into paint...or wherever
You could use Paint. Take the screen shot, open Paint and paste it onto the screen. Then save it as a photo file that you can edit or use as-is later.
Shift + print screen will save the image. Open Paint from Start-All Programs-Accesories and paste the image in there. From paint you can save the image as a jpeg, gif, tiff or png.


Good luck.
Well, considering you are running a PC, all you have to do to take a screenshot (if you did not already know) is press Print Screen on your keyboard (it may be abbreviated). That should be located near the F buttons (F1, F2, F3, etc.) on the right.





Now, to save them as an image file, the easiest thing to do for me is just open up MS Paint and paste it into there (Ctrl+V). It should already be copied to the clipboard after you pressed Print Screen.
