A screenshot of a desktop or screen of a program is called a screenshot. Typically, this digital image is created by the operating system at the user's command, which he enters from the keyboard. By default, screenshots are in BMP format - in other words, such images are dotted and represent an exact copy of the screen.
Instructions
Step 1
It is very easy to take a screenshot of the desktop or part of it - a window with a running program. To capture the entire screen or desktop, press the PrintScreen (PrtScr SysRq) key. It is usually located next to the “Backspace” and “Insert” buttons on the top row of the keyboard.
Step 2
To take a screenshot of a part of the screen - launched in the program window - you need to make the program window active by clicking on the title with the left mouse button, and hold down the alt="Image" + PrtScr key combination on the keyboard.
Step 3
After this action, a screenshot of the screen will be saved in the computer's cache. Now you need to translate the cache into graphics. To do this, start the “Paint” program, which is located in the standard Windows programs. In the top menu of the "Paint" editor, select the "Paste" command and you will see the resulting image in the working area. To save your screen capture without losing image quality, select Save As. In the window that appears, select the file type -.
This completes the creation of a screenshot of the desktop.
