A screenshot - a screenshot - is most often taken in order to show someone else. However, a snapshot taken using the Print Screen key also contains a lot of unnecessary stuff. It is advisable to remove unnecessary areas from the screenshot, especially when the size of the image file matters or any private information gets into the picture. The easiest way to do this is using the regular editor of Windows OS - it is called MS Paint.
You will need
- Graphic editor MS Paint.
Instruction
Launch the graphics editor. In the latest versions of Windows - 7 and Vista - just press the Win key, type pai and press Enter.
Upload a screenshot in Paint. If it's already saved, just drag the file onto the application window. If the screenshot was taken using the Print Screen button and is still in the clipboard, use the paste operation - press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V.
You can use several functions of the image editor to crop an image. If you want to reduce the height by cutting off the bottom, or make it narrower by removing the vertical rectangle on the right, you can use the change image properties function. To do this, click on the blue button at the upper left edge of the program window and select "Properties" from the menu. This command has been assigned hotkeys Ctrl + E - you can use them too.
In the image properties window, change the numbers in the Width and Height fields. By default, these parameters are measured in points, but you can check the "centimeters" field - these units are more convenient if the screenshot is supposed to be printed. Click OK and the image will be resized.
Another method allows you to more accurately select the area that should remain on the screenshot. You need to do this using the selection tool. Open the "Select" drop-down list on the "Home" tab in the menu and select the "Rectangular area" item. Then, using the mouse, select the area that should be left, and click on the "Crop" button - it is placed in the menu to the right of the "Select" button. Paint will resize to match the selection you've made.
You can leave on the screenshot not a rectangular area, but an area of any shape. To do this, instead of the "Rectangular area" item in the list of the "Select" button, select the "Custom area" item. Then, using the mouse pointer, circle the desired area and click the "Delete" button. Paint will first erase everything that is left outside the outlined area, and then resize the image to fit the new screenshot dimensions.
Save the edited picture. The corresponding dialog is called up by pressing Ctrl + S. If you opened a screenshot from a file, Paint will do without asking for the file name and where to save it, but simply overwrite the original file.
When shooting with a pocket digital camera or mobile phone, not everyone thinks about how to build a frame, what is happening in the background and other similar issues. As a result, when viewing the pictures, it turns out that next to the girl demonstrating a new stylish hairstyle, there was someone's protruding ear, which spoils the frame. In such a situation, cropping the image, which can be done in any graphics editor, can help.
You will need
- - Photoshop program;
- - photo for processing.
Instruction
Open the photo you want to crop in Photoshop. The easiest way to do this is to open the image folder and right-click on the file. Select "Open With" from the menu that appears, and select Photoshop from the list of programs.
Place the cursor on the photo to be cropped, hold down the left mouse button and drag out the cropping frame. Release the button. The fragment of the photo that will remain after cropping retains its colors, and those parts of the image that will be removed are covered with a semi-transparent mask. By default, the mask color is black, but you can choose a different color by clicking on the colored rectangle, which can be found in the panel under the main menu.
If the first time you didn’t manage to fine-tune cropping, there is no reason to be upset. You have the ability, by dragging the borders of the frame with the mouse, to crop exactly what you want. To move the cropping frame to the side, hold down the left mouse button and drag the side border of the frame. To move the frame up or down, you need to drag the bottom or top border. Dragging a corner of the frame will increase or decrease its size.
The crop frame can be rotated around the anchor point, which is in the middle of the frame by default. To rotate the frame, hover over the area of the photo outside the crop boundary near the corner of the frame. The pointer changes to a curved arrow. Hold down the left mouse button and rotate the frame as you like.
Apply the transformation. To do this, press the Enter key on your keyboard.
Save the cropped photo with the Save As command, which can be found in the File menu. When saving, enter a file name that is different from the original.

A new lesson in which we will look at the process of creating a screenshot of the screen with a standard Windows program - Scissors
What is the Scissors program.
Scissors program is a standard program that comes with the Windows operating system and is designed to create screenshots (screenshots).
The program itself does not ship with all Windows, but only with Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate versions. If you have a version different from these, then you will not find this tool on your computer. Find the tool on your computer can be found in the "Start" menu -> "All Programs" -> "Accessories".
In fact, this item may not be, so let's figure out where her tool is in order to use it and how to add it to the "Standard" folder. You can find it at "Local Disk C" -> "Windows" -> "System32". In this folder, look for a file called "SnippingTool.exe".
This file, through the right mouse button, we can send to the desktop as a shortcut, we can pin it to the Start menu or taskbar, and also add it to the "Accessories" folder. In order to place it in the "Accessories" folder, we hold down the scissors program icon and, without releasing the left mouse button, drag it to the "Start" menu, then to the "All Programs" folder, then to the "Accessories" folder and at the end just we place it somewhere between the points that are there.
We can also, by clicking the right mouse button on the tool, give it a name, for example, Scissors.
The last point that will be convenient when working with the standard Scissors program is a hot key. With it, we can call the tool without going to the Start menu. To do this, right-click on the item, select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. In the window that opens, on the "Shortcut" tab, place the mouse cursor on the "Shortcut" item and press any key that you want to launch the program, for example, F7. Next, click the "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Now, by pressing the F7 key on the keyboard, the Scissors program will automatically start.
Now it's time to look at how screenshots are created using the program. Run the program and start parsing it. In the window that opens, click on "Settings". There are very few of them and they are very light, so we will skip them and will not consider them.
Most of all we are interested in the "Create Snapshot" item. By clicking on it, we take a screenshot. Before proceeding with its creation, it is necessary, through the arrow located to the right of this item, to select the area that we will shoot.
Here we have 4 options to choose from:
1. Arbitrary shape - Create a screenshot of absolutely any shape;
2. Rectangle - creating a snapshot of a regular rectangular shape;
3. Window - take a screenshot of the selected open window. Here you do not need to select an area, but to take a snapshot of it, just move the cursor to the open active window and click the left mouse button. The active window in this case, when hovering the mouse cursor, is highlighted in red;
4. Full screen - everything is simple here, a screenshot of the entire screen is taken.
For example, I'll choose the "Rectangle" survey area. Further, holding down the left mouse button, we move the cursor, choosing which area will be in the picture.
After we have selected the area, a new window opens in which we can edit the resulting image - you can crop the already received screenshot, if there is something extra on it, copy it in order to use it in another editor, for example, in Paint, write something on it, draw or send by mail.
If you still have questions, you can watch the video tutorial below.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install the Adobe Reader program, with which you can view pdf files.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to delete a skype chat.

How to find the standard Paint program on your computer.
To do this, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories. And it's there by default.
But even if you found it on your computer, I still advise you to download it from the official website HERE : https://paintnet.ru/. Why download? Because the Paint attached to the Operating System is most often already an outdated version, it is not associated with the official site and will not be updated, and the downloaded program contacts the site every 5 days to check for updates. And it is much more convenient than the standard Paint.
And then there are lessons on the site that tell how to use the program https://paintnet.ru/category/lessons/, and they are constantly added and updated. It was created by students at the University of Washington as a test. And now she is an indispensable assistant for us.
For example you need take a screenshot, you need to open the page from which you want to take a screenshot, then simultaneously press ctrl and at the same time on the button printScreenSysRq, it may also be called PrtScSysRq. On the keyboard, it can also be placed in different places, but always closer to the right edge of the keyboard.
Thus, we save the screenshot to the clipboard of our computer. This means that we can paste it into any program that has a paste from clipboard function.
The image will enlarge if you click on it! Like all other pictures.
If the image is too large, then this window will appear in front of you. And if you want to save the photo in its original form, then click Enlarge canvas. Since the next option is “Keep canvas size”, it will crop it as you wish.
After you do whatever you want with the screenshot, you need to save it. Choose "Save As".
When the save window pops up, we:
- We write the name of the file.
- Select the format, for this, simply click on the desired one.
If you select the PNG format, the following window will appear. There you need to choose the quality of the picture. The larger the number in bits, the better and heavier the image will be. So here already decide what you need it for, if for social networks, then there is not much difference.
But if for the site, then the weight of the photo is of great importance. A heavy one will slow down page loading. If you want to learn how to take a photo easier with one easy and multifunctional program, then. If you are more comfortable using online services, then.
After you have noted the need for a checkbox, you can immediately look at the quality. If everything suits, then click OK.
How to insert a screenshot in a graphic editor.
In the same way, we paste the screenshot into any graphics editor, or into Microsoft Word. This is done while the image is saved to the clipboard. If you were told that there is nothing in the buffer. Then you will have to repeat the procedure again, that is, press the two buttons on the keyboard, with which we made the screen.
I recorded a short video tutorial, it shows several necessary application examples, including how to cut out the desired area from the screenshot.
