HELP! How Do I...

Post by jannaR »

Hello. I have a question, and I've tried looking for the answer in the help section of my program.

I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. I know how to do a screen capture of a web page, or my desktop. But I can't figure out how to do a screen capture of the open PSP8 program....for making a tutorial.


Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

I do all of my screen captures without using any special software.
To capture the entire screen press the [PrtSc] key on your keyboard - the entire screen is then on the windows clipboard and you can paste it in the same manner as any other picture that you have copied.

To capture just the active window in addition to the above hold the [Alt] key down at the same time as pressing the [PrtSC] key.

If you want all of the features of PSP's capture utility rather than just a screen grab, all you have to do is start a second instance of the program. Set up what you want to capture in the first one, use the second one to set up and accomplish the capture.
