Why Use Screenshots?

When writing content for your blog posts and pages, you may need to use screenshots to illustrate what you are discussing. These screenshots can provide the reader a better understanding of the whole process, especially if the screenshots are edited and cropped in a good way.

What is Photoscape?

Photoscape is a photo editing software which can be downloaded for FREE. I have used this photo editing software for years and love how simple the photo editing features are to use. Download Here >> Photoscape.

Save and Paste Screenshot

Firstly, save your screenshot by clicking on Fn and PrtSc (Windows PC) at the same time and then paste the screenshot into a word document. Then click on image while in your word document and once a pop up appears, click on Save as picture. I save the screenshot as a type: JPEG File Interchange Format (JPEG File). The JPEG file type is suitable for Photoscape

You're welcome Eva! That's a shame it doesn't work for MAC. I know there is a free photo editing software called 'Photoscape X' which is for MAC but it looks totally different to the one you just tried downloading. Here's the link: http://features.en.softonic.com/photoscape-for-mac Maybe give it a go...see what you think. I don't know what's it like as I don't have a MAC but what I've read it's meant to be a free alternative to Photoshop, whether it is or not, I do not know. The link I've given you has a written review about it, which maybe helpful for you to decide whether to download it or not.

Photoscape is great, I have recommended it to others- and the image resize option is pretty cool too- so that we don't have to upload files that are too large...

Yes, I'm always using the image resize feature! :)

Thanks Bill! :) I have both Coral Paintshop (paid photo editing software) and Photoscape (free photo editing software) and I always end up going back to Photocsape for editing and cropping. It's so easy to use compared to other photo editing software. Love it!

I have PhotoShop on my Mac, but such a big program have to go to school to learn how to use it. Thank you again

I would like to have PhotoShop but can't afford it. I do have Coral PaintShop Pro X 6 which is like PhotoShop but much cheaper! It's weird because even though I have PaintShop I still use Photoscape to crop, re-size and add watermarks. :)
