Taking a Screen Dump or Screen Capture
A screen dump
enables you to capture the current image on your computer
screen, taking a Screen capture or dump is always a very useful
piece of knowledge to have, some documents are protected against
direct copying or printing which can be very frustrating, what
do you do it you don’t have a printer and need to be able to
save information?
This is where the
screen capture or screen dump comes in, we even have two options
to decide on how we actually wish to capture.
The Print Screen
key, every computer has one of these, simply takes a
complete image of everything currently displayed on your screen.
For a much more
precise screen shot if you use the Alt & Print Screen
keys together then you only take a screen shot of the top
window, omitting any background stuff. This is a very useful
option as it not only looks more professional than showing
unrelated pieces of screen information, but it also takes up
less space or requires little or no after editing.
Where is the
screen shot or dump and how can I see it ?
The next thing we
need to do is open your favourite graphics application, even
Word or Word Pad will suffice.
Now either hit the
CTRL & V keys together, or from the Edit menu choose Paste.
Depending on the
application you choose you can of course completely edit the
image using an application such as Photoshop or Paint Shop pro ,
you can download fully working evaluation versions of both of
these, it’s also worth noting Paint Shop Pro even comes complete
with its own version of screen capture , with this you actually
choose the size of the screen shot giving you greater
flexibility.
