Windows Vista Home Premium Screenshot Snip Tool

Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 5:17 pm Windows Vista Home Premium Screenshot Snip Tool

Ok i dont know if some vista users know this, or even any home premium users who dont know how to take a screen shot will find this useful.

In Vista (except in Home Basic), there is a tool called the Snipping Tool.
To open it, click on the start menu, type 'snip', then hit enter.

The Snipping Tool opens, and a white mask is applied on the screen.
In free-form snip mode, draw around the area you want to be captured.

Drag a rectangle in rectangular snip mode. For window snip mode, select the window you want to capture. In full-screen mode, just selecting it from the drop-down menu makes the capture.

The snipped image is then opened within the Snipping Tool, but is also copied to the Windows clipboard for use in other applications.

Try it now while you are reading this.

Its a great tool and very quick and easy to use lol

Hope this is useful for you.
