How to print screen in Windows or screen shots capture.

how to print screen, screen shots capture, snapshot software

Are you about to ask how to print screen in Windows?

Screen shots capture in Windows can be done by two ways:

  1. By using the <Print Screen> key to capture the entire screen or the <Alt + Print Screen> key to capture an active window content.
  2. By using a special snapshot software.

The first method is built-in in Windows and doesn't require an additional software.

But it also has a lot of disadvantages:

  • Screen shots capture is restricted by the capture of the entire desktop or a single window. You can't capture a region, multiple windows, menues, scrolling windows, animated images, and you can't capture on timer event. You also can't grab the DirectX and Direct3D output of games, and media player screens.
  • You can't capture dialog controls: buttons, edit fields, combo boxes etc.
  • You can't enlarge a region while the capture.
  • To edit the captured image you need to use an external image editor.
  • You can't save the captured images without an addition software. For example, if you want to save an image, you need to run a graphical editor, paste an image into it and finally save the image.
  • You can't output an image to the printer without an additional software.

And more disadvantages ...
