There are situations when you need to show someone everything that is currently displayed on the monitor screen. Such a need may arise, for example, during correspondence with technical support, when you cannot accurately describe the problem with your computer in words, and it will be much more effective to show it clearly in the form of a picture. Whatever the reason, taking a picture of your monitor screen shouldn't be too difficult, especially if you follow the guidelines below.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the area you want to photograph. If it is a browser window, make sure it is open and not overlapped by other applications.
Step 2
Find the PrintScreen key on your keyboard. It is usually located to the right of the F12 key and above the Insert key. Press the key once, now the monitor screen is completely copied.
If you want to photograph not the entire screen, but only a specific browser window, focus on it by clicking the mouse, then press the Alt + PrtScr (PrintScreen) key combination. The window you need has been copied to the clipboard.
Step 3
Open any graphics editor that is installed on your computer. The best option is Paint or Adobe Photoshop. Create a new file when the editor starts. In the "Edit" menu, select "Paste", after which the photographed screen image will appear in the editor.
Trim off unnecessary elements, if desired, using the Frame tool if you are using Photoshop for editing.
Save the file in the format you need. It is best to choose the JPEG format, or
Open a new Word document and press Ctrl + V (or in the "Edit - Paste" Menu). The resulting screenshot will be inserted into the document. Save the document, and then you can send it as an attached file.
