I had to do some research to find the best way to take a screen shot using Windows 7. The 1rst method I found worked but required pasting your picture in Paint to save it.
This feature is simple, allows you to Crop as you take the picture & saves in PNG, Jpeg etc. All you need is to be running Windows 7 & you can use this anywhere, not just in a game.
Start Menu
Search Bar
Snipping Tool
This will bring up a small box on your screen & the whole screen is slightly highlighted blue
Now click anywhere on the screen & this prompts a Sizable box, simply drag the box to how big you want & let go of your mouse
This pops up the picture you just took
Now you can Edit the picture our Save it to your hard drive
I pinned the Snipping tool to my Taskbar so when I want to take a screen shot it is right there, easy to click (as long as I'm not full screened )
Let me know what ya think, I absolutely love it!
Heres an example of a Cropped Picture I took using Snipping Tool
