How to take Screen Shots

 Screen Shot Programs

If you are using Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 you can use the built in Snipping tool to create screenshots.  You can then upload the pictures to various sites.  http://imgur.com and http://tinypic.com are recommended as they don't require sign ups.

There are a few good screenshot programs you can install on your computer and use them for any program.

Lightshot

The most commonly used program on Sbcodez is Lightshot.  You can either upload screenshots directly or edit them before you upload.
