Using LView
Let's say you would like to capture the image of your screen, or you have
created a graph in Excel which you would like to capture. LView will
capture any image on your screen. Prepare the image you would like
to caprute and open Lview.
Under Edit select Capture and Desktop.
This will capture everything that is presently on your screen. Once you
have done this LView will disappear for a few seconds. Once it reappears
you will see that all your screen has been captured.
You may not want to keep the entire screen. If you place your
mouse on the screen and click on the right mouse, you can draw a box around
the area you want.
Once you have drawn the box, select Crop under Edit.
Now that you have your image you may want to flip it horizontally,
vertically, add text, or resize it by selecting those options
under Edit.
Now don't forget to save your work! Select Save As under File.
You should save your file either as a jpg or gif.
OK, you're done!!
