How to take a Screen Cap
I notice questions often regarding screen caps. Here are the steps to take a screen cap, and what to do with it once you've taken it. Use this to capture anything you see anywhere on line that you'd like to save a copy of.
Hold down your 'print screen' key. Then go to your 'start'; hopefully you have Paint listed there as a program, if not, look for it in your programs and open it. Then hold down your 'control' key and the letter 'V' at the same time. The image should appear on your screen. Go to 'Save As', and save the image. Be sure to save it as a jpg: you'll have to select that option. Give it a title, such as 'Nudity', and save it to your desktop, it'll be easier to find that way. Then close Paint. Then go to your desktop and and if U need to edit the pic, open the picture that you've just saved, using whatever pic editing program you use. Crop the picture so you're not showing the entire screen, just mainly what you want to save. Resave it. Your pic is now ready to do whatever you need to do with it.
If you've never taken screen shots before, just practice taking a few so you'll know you can do it when you need to. Hope this helps.
