  2. I'm on an iMac and I went into my applications and there was a predownloaded one called Grab. I opened that and it worked very similarly to Skitch. I selected a portion I wanted to capture then saved it to my computer and attached the file to Preston.

  3. On my laptop which is a windows 7 there is a pre installed program called Snipping Tool. You crop the part you wish to capture and just save it to your computer files.

  4. I logged onto my blog from my iPhone and took a pic of the screen by pressing down the home button and the on/off button. Then it saves itself to your pictures.

  5. I'm also going to take screenshots with my iPhone, (mainly because I don't know how to do it off of a computer) by pressing the lock and home button at the same time it will take a screenshot and save it to my pictures. Then I will just message them to your email.

  6. There is a program called The Snipping Tool, which allows you to take a screenshot of whatever site you're on and save it to your computer. I will use this program, then email the pictures to you.

  8. I highlighted the graph when I went into the overview page by clicking and dragging the mouse across what I wanted. Then I went to edit, clicked on copy, and pasted it into an email.

  9. I downloaded an extension to Google Chrome for the screenshot button in the left hand corner of the webpage. It was pretty simple on from the Google search "how to take a screenshot in Google Chrome". I do love it!!!

  11. Well, I'm actually having technical difficulties at the moment trying to email this, but I used the good old snipping tool to copy and paste my information. My dad is a huge help when it comes to using tools on my computer. :)

  13. Talked on Skype with a few of my friends about how to take a screen shot and the simplest way we found was to press the print screen key in the top right corner of the keyboard then post the image in a word document or on a paint program then attach the file to an email.

  14. Hmm. I go with the traditional copy-paste method. All you have to do is press "prt scrn" and paste into a "Paint" file. Save as a jpg and you are done.

  15. I used my iPhone to screen shot it and then just emailed the picture using my phone as well.

  16. I used Greenshot (http://getgreenshot.org/). Of course, it's not worth the download for a single screenshot like this, but if your computer lacks a screenshot program this saves a lot of cropping time.
