Capturing the contents of the monitor, that is, taking a screenshot (screenshot), is simply necessary. For example, if you have any problems, send it to a specialist for review. There are different ways to keep what's happening on the screen.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to take a screenshot is to use the standard system function, press the Print Screen key. It is located in the upper part of the keyboard on the right side, after the F softkeys. After pressing it, you need to create a graphic file in any folder you like, for example, a Paint drawing, office picture manager. Then open this file and select the function to paste, or press the key combination Ctrl + V. After that, a screenshot of your screen will appear in the folder with the created graphic file, which, if desired, can be edited in any editor. The finished drawing can be sent by mail, posted on the site or printed.
Step 2
In order to take a screenshot, in addition to the system utilities, there are special programs. Their main difference from the standard method lies in a wider set of tools and functions. Although the main principle of operation remains the same. In special programs, you can not only take a screenshot, but also save it in any desired graphic format. In addition, in such programs, you can select not only the entire screen for the picture, but a certain, selected area. You can also paint over some parts of the image, for example, personal data, titles or other information that you do not want to show.
Step 3
It happens that it is necessary to take not just a screenshot, but to capture certain actions. For this, there are programs for recording video from the screen. This allows you to film what you are doing on the screen and even voice it. This function is used to create video lessons, tutorials, as well as to compile a practical guide, for example, when working with a new program. This is how you can share your skills and knowledge with someone. The management of such programs is very simple. When you start it, a certain part or the whole screen is selected, the record button is pressed, and then you can work. The resulting video can optionally be saved in.avi or.swf formats for later use or editing at your discretion.
