Taking a Screenshot

To capture an image:

2. Click the red Capture button or press the shortcut key (usually Print Screen).

Click and drag your mouse to select the screen area you want to capture.

After releasing the mouse, the image opens in the Editor where you can annotate or save it.

Use the Tools menu or the toolbar on the right to explore options.
