Just laughing at some of the "potato vision!"-esque comments on some screenshots some put up - so if you're on a comp needing a decent one then it's this simple;

Download this;
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Go to file, create, screenshot - window or full, choice is your's, set a few seconds so you can re-click on the window/screen you want copying - let it take the pic, will start flashing when done - file, export, change it to .jpg or similar, store it and edit it where you want - DONE!

Thought it might help some of ya's!

No more dodgy screenshots y'all!  Grin

and if it is plain text, highlight it and copy/paste it.

No need for an image.

Saving / sharing screenshots as jpgs should be seriously punishable IMO.

I know this is dated but I never even knew this shortcut or feature...

I was still stuck in the days of either using a screencap app or doing the old print screen and saving as a .png (.jpg is horrible)

Thank you for the heads up

It should autosave to Pictures / Screenshots (of course if screenshots doesn't exist it will create the folder automatically)
