I also have used it to snip pictures from the web to use as inspiration for crafts.Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193023613589962376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-74631937537202663092013-02-05T14:22:59.378-06:002013-02-05T14:22:59.378-06:00One thing the Snipping Tool can't do is captur...One thing the Snipping Tool can't do is capture those pesky drop down menus and pop up things that explain toolbars and icons - 'cos as soon as you change your focus away from them they vanish. I downloaded Capture View (http://www.gxdevelopment.com/screen-capture.aspx), which lets you set a time delay on the snip it takes so you can grap these little things and use them in User Manuals and other instructions. I stick to the Snipping Tool for daily use though as it's so easy to use.BarnsleyHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706725823398288376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-56815673997825298332013-02-05T12:27:26.813-06:002013-02-05T12:27:26.813-06:00Heather, this is also available in Vista Home Prem...Heather, this is also available in Vista Home Premium on up.

I'd just started to use Skitch which I learned about a recent genealogy Webinar and may stick with it as it also works on my IPad and allows me to save the clip on my computer or into Evernote (which I'm still trying to figure out how to maximize). <br />Joanne<br />www.shackfordgenealogy.weebly,com SearchShackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543551931494201343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-48399122299897143572013-02-05T10:05:30.130-06:002013-02-05T10:05:30.130-06:00Yep...

You can also create a jpeg image from a page in a PDF file - that's been REALLY handy. Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
