This is useful if we are trying to snip something that takes a few clicks to get to.įor example, I might want to snip a menu that is hidden under another menu.

Select the required mode from the list.Free-form mode allows us to select a custom area to snip. Full screen mode will snip the entire screen and any open applications on it. Window mode will snip the current active window. This is good for things like error messages and dialog boxes. Rectangle mode means we can select a rectangular area to snip. We have a menu running across the top that allows us to choose some settings for our snip.
