Vista lets you capture selected parts of your screen
If you don't like editing images of your screen captured by the Print Screen command, with Vista, you can get directly to the close-up of your dreams. Just use the Snipping tool
Ever wondered how those pictures of this or that computer activity got into a story you’re reading, or a thrilling book about computers?
The trick is called Print Screen and it’s a relatively easy operation. Except it requires a bit of post-surgical treatment. Why? Because the picture you get using Print Screen includes the entire screen, and you only want a specific part of it.
Sure you can crop and edit the image afterwards, using whichever picture editor you fancy, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could just capture the section of the screen you want in the first place?
Now, with Vista, you can go that one necessary step beyond your run-of-the-mill Print Screen command. Type ‘snipping’ into the search box to find the built-in Vista Snipping tool.
