How to screen capture

[Vanquish]

Sadly, some people STILL don't know how to do this.


Lets say, I wanted to take a picture of a funny video on youtube!
The ONLY button I need to press (For Windows users only) is this key.

Spoiler

When you click this, everything on your monitor was just captured.
Just press Ctrl + V and paste it into PhotoShop/Paint and crop it.
I'm not going to hold your hand and show you how to do everything :3

RE: Cropping

Pretty Basic guide? But i think you should have shown how to crop, not how to print screen, since everyone can do that?

Well, that was simple.

I learnt this when I was 6, suppose you have to start somewhere!

That's about as simple as they get, nothing simpler.
Cropping is still really easy as well.

For capturing half the screen only, just crop out half the screen.

I recommend Texture Cutter to crop images, it's a easy and awesome tool!

If you use rsbot/powerbit, you can just use the picture taker. You can choose between censoring out your usernames (so you won't get banned if you post it on a forums or something) or leave it as it is!

Thanks, what about 1/4 of screen? How do I capture it?

Same idea. Just take the whole screenshot and crop it out.

Texture cutter allows you to crop any side to any extent.

Just like he said, you can just crop any part of it out that you don't want.
It's simple and takes no time at all.

On Win 7, the newer updated version of paint has a crop tool as well.

Also, please note that on laptops you may need to press a FN or function key in addition to your Print Screen button.
