Step 3: Select Window or Crop

Choose a full window or click ‘Screen Clipping’ to select a specific area. Drag to select the area you want.

흔한 실수 피하기

• Selecting too large an area, causing the screenshot to overwhelm the page
• Not resizing screenshots to fit document layout—very large screenshots are unprofessional
• Forgetting to add captions or callouts to explain what the screenshot shows

팁과 요령

• Add arrows or text boxes to highlight important elements in screenshots
