According to the inexperience, novice users of the PC are often interested in how to save a picture from the monitor screen so that later you can use it at any time. In the computer language, the screen photograph is called - Screenshot (ScreenShot) or Screen (Screen). Consider how to make a screenshot through the built-in Windows utilities.
1
Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows Vista operating systems contain a built-in image capture program from the screen - "scissors". Run this simple utility to work through the "Start" → "All Programs" → "Standard" → "Scissors". Click the Create button or swipe the area around the area you want to write down - as the program offers.
2
The selection area will open in the main window of the Windows scissors, and you will only be used to use the "File" command → "Save How" command, come up with a name, select a folder to save on your computer and click on the "Save" button. The "JPEG" snapshot format, which is set to the default in the utility, try not to change.

Use to remove the screenshot of the hot keyboard key "PRINT SCREEN | SYS RQ", which is located on the keyboard at the top on the right side. Make a screen by clicking on "Print Screen", just do not be afraid that nothing happens - the screen photo is at this moment in the exchange buffer.
4
Now open any graphic editor, for example, "Paint", through the "Standard Programs", similar to scissors, and click the CTRL key combination + "V". The picture is inserted into the editor, then you can safely save it to the "Ctrl" + "S" command. In Microsoft Paint the format for saving files by default - "PNG". We recommend changing it to the generally accepted - "JPEG".
To create screenshots, more experienced PC users, along with embedded Windows tools, use third-party software - Lightshot, IrfanView, Faststone Capture, Screenshot Captor, etc.
