I often use screenshot feature with Windows 10 Home edition. I save the file, go back to Pictures folder and edit (crop). I'd rather crop the screen and save it with a file name. Snip & Snetch usually works but it does not let me chose destination folder. (Maybe I don't know how to do it.) I have just found this article on Web for different alternatives. Is anybody here familiar with one of them? Any recommendations? All I want to do is drag the corners of what I want to save (mostly Internet sites), enter a file name and save as jpg file. thank you.
Thanks James. I used to click start, go to programs and select 'snip and sketch'. A Windows update in the past somehow made it disappear!. So, I downloaded the program from Microsoft's store, and saved a shortcut on taskbar. I don't remember seeing the old floppy disk looking icon you marked.
I am typing this on my chromebook, and the other pc with Windows 10 is currently busy with some video editing. When I get a chance, I will try again and see what happens. The problem I am running into is 'snip and sketch' saves the file in clipboard, which I hate. I'd like to pick the destination. I will report here after my experiment.
Ok, I tried and failed! When I enter 'snipping tool' in search box, a small windows opens and shows it is moving with future updates and suggests snip and sketch. I created a shortcut for snip and sketch on taskbar. I open it, and drag the + sign for borders. The save icon (floppy disk in your picture) is on the top of minimize icon! So, the windows size changes when I click it. No saving in clipboard. I wonder if this program was corrupted when I downloaded it from Microsoft store. I didn't try deleting and redownloading it back from the store. I downloaded an alternative 'Greenshot' from link in my first thread. That solved my issue. It is strange that Windows' own program is not working for me.
