Screen print

[hiflier]

I run Windows XP on my PC. When I did a course a few years ago I was taught how to print the image from the screen. This not using ctrl+P but some fix involving cut and paste. Can anyone advise me how to do it as I've forgotten the method.

I usually press PrtSc (the button in the top left). Then open Photoshop and Choose new document then paste and in goes the screen print. Hope this helps.

There should be a button that says Prt scr. Press that and then paste into whatever program you are using :)

Sorry should have said top right not top left

.. and if you haven't got Photoshop you can use the 'paint' program that comes with XP. After you've pressed prtscn (this puts what's on the screen into memory) open Paint and go Edit/paste. This loads the whole screen image and you can crop, or save the whole thing as an .jpg image.

use a program like PicPick http://www.picpick.org/ - it's free for domestic use and gives you a lot of options

Ok thanks for all the answers. But please help an old fogie: how do you 'open Paint'? and then 'go edit/Paste?
