While working on a computer, or playing an interesting game, watching a movie or doing something else, the user sometimes needs to capture a moment from there.
Instructions
Step 1
This is relatively easy to do, but there are some nuances to consider. The simplest and, one might say, basic method is to press the Prt Scr SysRq keyboard key, or Print Screen (the name is usually this). After this action, the image is copied to the Windows clipboard. And it already needs to be opened in any program.
Step 2
If you use the main components of the system, this can be done in a simple graphic editor Paint. To check, press Print Screen at some point, choose what you would like to see as a separate image - a screenshot. Or just to check for the future. Open Paint - click on the "Edit" tab, and select "Paste", or press the Ctrl + V key combination on the keyboard at the same time.
Step 3
Image - "Screenshot" appears in the program. You can save it to any place convenient for you by clicking on the "File" tab and selecting "Save Image As".
Step 4
Also, this can be done in the well-known programs Photoshop, Word.
For even greater convenience, it is recommended to install the well-known IrfanView picture viewer, in which you can save / open such images much faster. Everything is done in the same way, with the key combination Ctrl + V.
Step 5
But, this method has its drawbacks. And the main problem is that you can only save one image at a time. Of course, if a person needs to copy a lot of frames during the game process, or watching a movie at once, the basic method will not work, or it will create a lot of inconvenience.
Therefore, if you need to copy many frames at once, you need a special program. For example, HardCopy Pro - it creates a special folder and saves images immediately after clicking on Print Screen - and an unlimited number of times.
