Hello, I was looking around and I can't seem to find any way to just place a screen shot function on my website. I just want it to take a sniping of a particular area. Any one have any ideas? Thanks!

    You ever saw a button on your keybord with the words "PRINT" on it?

    You open the website in question, press that button PRINT, than you open Paint (or any other image editor), press STRG+V (or Right Click -> Paste) and you got the screenshot in there. Now you can slice pout the part you want.

      I thought they would have know about this, Thats why i didn't suggest it.

      Jing would still be a lot easier then using a photo edit software to edit the print screen.

        Never underestimate peoples dumbness!

        And actually I dont agree using Jing (or any other software) is a smart idea if you are going to create one single screenshot.

        You are just having more junk on your PC (probably some additional toolbars if you dont pay attention while installing ). Overall I think it is never a good idea to install thousands of crappy programs if you just use them once a year for a simple task, that can be done otherwhise (print+paint in this case).

        Pressing print and edit a screenshot in Paint shouldnt take more than 10 seconds.

        @op: go with the print button!

          Here in England the button is 'PrtScrn' or "PrtSc"

          We always have to be awkward :-)

            Its "Druck" over here in Germany/Austria so I just guessed it must be "print" (direct translation from Druck) on english keybords

    The print button works fine, as andrejvasso says, but I love Snagit.

    The 'PrtScrn' or "PrtSc" stands for = Print Screen

    camtasia studio is the best option for me as of my opinion. Mainly i use this tool for video recording and it works really good for me , you must try this one and you can choose a specific location of the page to get captured.

    Gyazo is also useful if you need to take a lot of screenshots - it saves a lot of time not having to open up Photoshop, paste them, and save them.

    Use snagit free software. Or on a mac Shift and Command and 4 lets you select with crosshairs and copies to your clipboard your selection. You can just select paste then where ever you want to put it.

    In windows 7, there is a sniping tool which can take screenshots.
    Besides use the print scrn button to take a screenshot and then open paint and paste the screenshot there.
