When we began to get started on the first project, one of the mandatory tools was for a screen capturing software called "Jing". What happened to Jing?Īs a web developer, we were subcontracted under another agency early last year. It also comes with a snipping tool that many people find useful. With SnagIt you can edit images and has minor video editing. SnagIt is a screen capture tool with a nice large capture button. SnagIt is just that good, and very useful on a Windows computer. SnagIt is such a highly coveted tool, that many organizations buy the licenses for their employees. That's where the next level software, built by TechSmith, called SnagIt would come in. It's just at the basic level to capture everything you can see. Neither operating systems have a snipping tool, or a screen capturing tool built in. Yet, neither the default Windows or Mac screenshot options allow for optimum flexibility. Or you could use CMD + Option + Shift + 3 to capture the screenshot for "copy" and "paste" purposes. You can use CMD + Shift + 3 to take a screenshot and create an image. On a Mac, however, the screenshot tools are very different. This is even more prominent when creating official documentation, like Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). To be honest, the standard screenshots feature that is built into the computer is one of our favorite tools. It's quite lacking when you want to actually create an image file of the screenshot. Using these keyboard shortcuts to capture screenshots are very useful for those times when you just want to "copy" and "paste" the screenshot. A more laser focused approach in your image capture is to use Alt + Print Screen (capture image for just the 1 screen or window you're working in). The first keyboard shortcut is Shift + Print Screen (which is to take an image capture, or "screenshot", of your entire screen, which includes multiple screens or full screen). On a Windows computer, there are keyboard shortcuts that help you take a proper "print screen", or an image capture of your screen.
You know that "Print Screen" button on your keyboard that hides in the top corner. Anyone that is serious about writing documentation, or communicating effectively with other team members, will know what it means to utilize the screenshot features built into our computers.
