  • OneNote Snipping Tool

    I previously used Alt+PrintScreen key for screenshots and then pasted into MSPaint and then edited the picture, and then capture just part of a screenshot. Now a better way is install Microsoft OneNote and take screenshot via the WinKey + S and then select the portion of the screenshot you want and paste anywhere.

    Note: this option also available under menu “Insert”  -> “Screen Clipping”

    And yes, it’s better than Vista/Win7’s snipping tool in my option.

  • Snipping Tool in Vista/Win7

    Now windows have snipping tool in Vista and Win7.

    You can use Snipping Tool (normally you can find it at %SystemRoot%system32SnippingTool.exe) to capture a screen shot, or snip, of any object on your screen and then annotate, save, or share the image. Simply use a mouse or tablet pen to capture any of the following types of snips:

    • Free-form Snip.  Draw an irregular line, such as a circle or a triangle, around an object.
    • Rectangular Snip.  Draw a precise line by dragging the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.
    • Window Snip.  Select a window, such as a browser window or dialog box, that you want to capture.
    • Full-screen Snip.  Capture the entire screen when you select this type of snip.

    After you capture a snip, it’s automatically copied to the mark-up window, where you can annotate, save, or share the snip.
