Hey guys, it's Vanquisher. This is my first guide, and in this guide, I am going to introduce how to take, crop and post screenshots to those who don't know. Screenshots First of all, what are screenshots? A screenshot is a picture taken from your computer to capture the things on your screen. Heres an example of a screenshot I took: ![]() In that screenshot, it shows that I was browsing Yahoo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why are screenshots so important? Screenshots are important, because it can be used for many things and is extremely useful. You may take a screenshot of someone breaking the rules, which can be used to report someone on the forums. In many cases, proof is required. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you take a screenshot? Theres a button "Prt Scr" on your keyboard, you can take a screenshot by simply pressing on it: ![]() After you've pressed it, you can open up an application called Paint. After you've opened up Paint, click on paste: ![]() -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have clicked on paste, you should see the picture you have taken a screenshot of: ![]() There you go, now you may save the picture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cropping Cropping: Removing parts of an image. Why would you want to remove parts of an image? Before: ![]() After: ![]() -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you crop? To crop, you need to open up paint, and paste the picture you want to crop: ![]() Then, click on the Select button on the top left corner. Next, drag over the part you want to crop and click on crop: ![]() After you've clicked on crop, it should look something like this: ![]() Congratulations, you have successfully cropped a picture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bringing It on Forums How do you bring it to the forums? You need to find a picture hosting site, upload your picture, and look for the [IMG] code. An example of an [IMG] code would be:
The picture hosting site I use is www.photobucket.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the end of my guide, hope you guys learnt something.
