Stoopid screen capture question...

[graveleye]

I see everyone with their pretty screen captures of their PT sessions... I have not a clue how to do this... can someone please tell me?
I dont really know why I want to do this, but.. its a curiosity to me.

Shift+Print screen then open Paint and under Edit click paste.Then save it as JPEG

This method used to work for me under Windows 95, but has never worked under W98. Is there an OS component that I didn't install or something?

I don't know.I can only speak of XP.

Shift+Print screen then open Paint and under Edit click paste.Then save it as JPEG

ALT+Print Scr = capture of active window, Print Scr only = whole screen

It's all good.I didn't even realize you didn't have to push Shift first.Learn something new everyday

Grab Hoversnap.
Freeware utility, very cool.
Allows you to do same screenshot as "normal" in XP, but also allows custom "lasso" of any particular section of desltop/apps/on top stuff.
Additiionally: Not only does it put the screenshot in the clipboard, it also allows you to set a directory, and have a jpg, you choose size, created instantly there.
In the prefs for the utility, it also allows you to choose a name for the screenshots, with the date/time appended to that "base name" for each shot. This way, you can do several screenshots back-to-back without stopping to paste out fo the clipboard.
