Snip Snip Snipping Tool

Last Update: August 15, 2012
The snipping tool is one of my favorite tools in Windows 7. The icon looks like a pair of scissors just waiting to snip a screen shot.

It is so…. easy to use and more efficient than making a screen shot using print screen.

One of my favorite ways to use it at WA is to snip screen shots of Jay's Wabinars. Whenever I see a picture or something that I want to remember from a Wabinar I quickly click on my snipping tool which is quietly waiting for me on my home screen toolbar. Then I outline what I want to capture and hit save. I have a folder setup for Wabinars to place the jpg's in quickly while the Wabinars are in session.

Here are a few snips from last week's Wabinar.


And these excellent tips for writing articles.

I like the snipping tool as well, but I have become more in love with Jing. It is free and works awesome. Lots of good free tools out there to get the job done :)
