How To....Take A Screenshot

This is going to be the start of my How To series on this blog :D It will mostly be focused around a MSP themed instagram but there will be some regular MovieStarPlanet things sprinkled in as well. The first thing will be how to take a screenshot! I think its the most important thing to know how to do if you want to run a successful game themed Insta! Taking a photo of your screen is okay from time to time but it should be avoided when possible!

This is something you can find easily by looking it up...but I do get a lot of people asking me how to do it

PC

First up, How to take a screenshot on a PC! There are a couple different ways but the easiest is to press the PRTSC (print screen) button, on my computer you also need to hold down the FN button. You need to do so if it is the smaller text on a key. Once you have pressed the button you'll need to paste it in whatever photo/art program you use. Paint is the easiest! 

      This is what mine looks like

You can also use the Snipping Tool. This will let you take a screenshot of a specific area and not just the whole screen. To find it go into your search bar type "snipping tool" then click it and there you go~

Mac:

I personally have not used a mac in years, but according to their website this is what you do:

Take a screenshot of part of your screen

Press Command-Shift-4. The pointer changes to a crosshair pointer.
Move the crosshair pointer to where you want to start the screenshot.
Drag to select an area. While dragging, you can hold the Shift key, Option key, or Spacebar to change the way the selection moves.

When you've selected the area you want, release your mouse or trackpad button. To cancel, press the Escape (esc) key before you release the button.
Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.

Take a screenshot of a window

Press Command-Shift-4. The pointer changes to a crosshair pointer.
Press the Space bar. The pointer changes to a camera pointer.
Move the camera pointer over a window to highlight it.
Click your mouse or trackpad. To cancel, press the Escape (esc) key before you click.
Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.
