Taking a Screenshot Using Jing
3. Taking a Screenshot
Now that you have installed Jing and set up an account, you can take a screenshot.
When you hover your mouse over the Jing icon (the yellow sun), you have 3 options: Capture, History, and More. We want to create a screenshot, so click on Capture.
A yellow cross-hair will come up, and your screen will become grayed out, like so:
Use the cross-hair to click, hold down with the mouse and drag a square around what you want to take a picture of on your screen. The image inside of your square will turn back to color (instead of black and white).
When you let go of the mouse (after you have clicked and held down and dragged a square), a Jing menu will appear. (see below) The button that is shaped like a Polaroid picture is the "Capture Image" button. Click it.
A window will now pop up with your selected screen square and editing options. Here you can use the "T" tool to type text onto the image, draw on your image, etc etc.
See the bottom of that editing window where it says "Name"? Type what you want to name your image right there.
Now we need to save your image to your computer. See the second button from the left, the one that looks like a floppy disk? Click that button. A window asking you where you want to save your image will pop up. Select a location on your computer (Like My Documents, or My Pictures. I have an "Open High School" folder that I made on my computer.) and click SAVE.
You have now successfully saved your screenshot to your computer!
