An easy way to crop anything and make an image

[Benny]

I see some people having a hard time just making a screen shot, Window as a tinny tool that maybe some of you don't know about.

You can crop an anything on your desktop in second ans save it as an image, but you need to be in windows mode on the Sim or have 2 screen and not use by the sim itself

Since I'm at work I can use the Sim but I will use an ORBX forum page instead as an example. If you are not using it for the sim you can (as an example) use it to explain a window that pop up as a problem.

 

Here we go:

Open that tool, sorry it's in french but you should find it easily, it'S there also in Win 7

 

Now that little new window will open, don't worry as soon as you will click on NEW (yellow arrow) it will disappear.

 

Now with your mouse you can crop (rectangle in white) whatever you want, in this case part of an image.

 

As soon as you let go of the mouse button a new window (in red) will open with your new image ready to save, click on save and choose a name and location

 

Voila, this is way faster then using PRINT SCREEN and using a software to crop it.

I hope that this will help a few

Cheers, Ben

For English, it's called "Snipping Tool". 

 

If you already have full screen ones that you want to crop, XnViewMP works real nice, and also lets you easily look through your pix.

Also, here is a FREE (I mean FREE for real) small photo editor, I have more powerful one but this one is easy to use and not big in size, I have ben using it for 10 years.
