Print screen

When you press the print screen button, where does the image go?

If you press Ctrl + Print Screen, the image goes into the clipboard.
If you then open any image software - even Paint, you can paste the image into it and save as a jpeg

It goes to the clipboard. If you then go to start>run and type mspaint, then select paste, you can edit/save the picture as a jpg image file.

The only problem I find with PRTSC is that you have to play around with it to make it usable (stretching it in Word and it goes off the screen edge etc) although maybe I was using it incorrectly. I use 'Screenshot Capture' which you can get free from 'Donation Coder.com' It is brilliant and you have full editing features, just like photo editing progs.

After press the prntscr or CTRL+prntscr, the screenshot goes to your PAM automatically. U should goto MS Paint, MS word or any other graphic editors and Press CTRL+V immediately, then save the image…If not you caouldnot get the screenshot…
if u wanna capture anything on the screen, perhaps this key can't help u. Im using PCHand Screen Capture, it could help u capture any screenshot on the screen. i think it is pretty good, i know it from my friend, u can also try it. Hope it could help.
