Day 3 – What I Learned Today
Let’s hear it for the Snipping Tool? I too went – “WHAT?”
It’s not a handy cutting tool to put in my workshop – this little handy tool is on my computer. If you have Windows 7, you have the Snipping Tool.
How did I find out about this neat little writer’s weapon? I found out when I was wanting to put screen shots in my post. I know – screen shots are old but I never took the time to learn about them. I’m glad I didn’t waste my time way back – because not only did I not have to put screen shots in my documents – I now know a quick and easy way to “get ‘er done”
Cool thing is that isn’t just for a full screen shot. You can just take a snip of any object on the screen and then click and you have it. You can even write on it right then and there – make notes or draw circles and arrows. There is a highlighter tool and an eraser in case you mess up. You can share and/or save the image.
You can save the images as HTML, PNG, GIF, or JPEG file.
You don’t have to just have a stiff rectangle Snip. There are several different types of Snips.
- Free Form Snip: Draws a free-form shape around an object.
- Rectangular Snip: Drag your cursor around an object
- Window Snip: Let’s you select a browser window or dialog box to snip
- Full Screen Snip: Captures the entire screen
