The Power of PrtScr Button (Capture Your Screen Image)

Beberapa hari lalu, mismimi tagged PakTeh untuk tunjuk skrin desktop. Mula2 memang tak tahu cemana nak buat. Ada laman rakan2 seperti Jie yang beri tips apakah software digunakan & command-nya sekali, - tapi PakTeh yang benak @ 'lambat pickup' ni tetap tak faham aspek teknikalnya. Tak tahu step "1-2-3"nya. Petang tadi, terjenguk satu laman web yang banyak beri info. Berikut, adalah tutorial berikut, dengan transcript-nya sekali.

Capture and Save a Screenshot in Windows XP

Hi. I'm Don Schechter for About.com Computing.

Why Capture Screen Shots?

Sometimes you may need to copy your computer screen to show others how it looks. Frequently, people do screen captures to create instruction manuals for others. I'm going to show you a quick example.

Capturing the XP Screenshot

Let's say that you want to show someone what your start menu looks like. First, click on the start menu, then press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. This is located to the right of the F12 key on a standard keyboard.

The image of your screen has now been copied to the clipboard as if you had copied a file.

Viewing your Screenshot

Now open an image viewing program. For this exercise, I m going to use Adobe Photoshop. You can use many other image editing programs to do the same thing.

Editing Your Windows XP Screenshot

In Photoshop, select New, then Click OK. To import the file, go to Edit, paste. The entire screen is now in your new file. Use your cropping tool to select the area which you want to use. I will save the file by going to File, Save.

If you don't have Photoshop or another sophisticated program, you can always use Microsoft Paint, which is located in Programs, Accessories.

Working with your Screenshot

After you've hit print screen button, simply paste the image. Then use the marquee tool to select the area you want to show. Go to edit, copy. Now create a new file by going to File, New. Click, NO when it asks you to save changes. Finally, paste the new image by going to Edit, Paste.

Save Your Windows XP Screenshot

Now save the file. Go to File, Save. You can save your image file in many different formats. I recommend JPEG, which is the standard format for most digital images.

You have successfully created and saved a screen shot You can email it, put it up on a website or use in a document or presentation.

Thanks for watching.

Jadi, PakTeh pun cuba la buat guna Photoshop. Ginilah rupanya desktop PakTeh. Masih guna latar Acer Aspire series. Dokumen dan software berselirat. Kadang2 tu rasa nak sorok atau delete segala maknika tu, tapi pada masa yang sama, rasa2 macam semuanya penting pulak, haha. Jadi penuh la sarat-barat kat desktop tu.

Jenguk2 juga siapa yang belum kena tag lagi. PakTam, Jie, AbgPutra, Budin dan UncleJ dah kena dah. Akhirnya PakTeh pilih :

• PakNgah - seorang abang yang sukakan cabaran, hehe.
  
• Farah B - rakan Penang yang ada laptop baru, very powerful 3Gig RAM.
• Akim - anak penakan yang mahir ICT, cuma sukar ber-internet di Kapit.
• Sharifah - rakan di Ipoh yang hebat cetusan rasanya.
• arsaili - rakan blogger yg balik bercuti dari Australia. Kena ada homework juga kot. hehe.

Selamat mem-publish desktop masing2 di blog! dan selamat menge-tag orang lain pula. :)
