To share screenshots on your computer or use them for document writing, many people often search for free screenshot software on Baidu. However, they often encounter software that includes advertisements and bundled programs, or they can only find paid software with irrelevant features.

Finally, the most convenient method for capturing a screenshot on Windows is to use the "Print Screen" button and then edit and crop the image using the “Drawing” tool.

In fact, after Windows 10 is updated, it comes with a variety of more convenient screenshot tools. Here we will introduce them one by one:

Method 1: Shortcut key “Win+Shift+S” specifies a screenshot of the area

Since Windows 10 RS1 (RedStone1), Microsoft has enabled users to take screenshots of a specific area by using the shortcut key combination Win+Shift+S.

However, there are limitations to Win10′s system-level screenshot function. It lacks an editing feature, so after capturing a screenshot, you must edit it separately. Additionally, it can only capture the image to the clipboard and does not provide an option to save it directly

Method 2: “Screen Sketch” Screenshot

Shortcut key combination screenshots lack the ability to edit screenshots. However, the “Screen Sketch” feature in Windows Ink workspace offers a different solution. If you have a version of Win10 after the RS1 Creators Update, you can access the Windows Ink workspace on the taskbar’s right side and utilize “Screen Sketch” for simple screenshot capturing.
Instructions:

1. Call out the Windows Ink workspace by pressing “Win+W”

Screen Sketch in Windows Ink Workspace allows users to capture screenshots of their screen. It provides post-processing options like cropping and painting, making it suitable for both area and full-screen screenshots. However, it may not be as fast or convenient as using shortcut keys, especially for capturing fleeting pictures.

Graffiti and other editing are possible, but screenshot operations are difficult without shortcut keys. For recording the screen and adding sound, try our flagship products: Rene.E Laboratory screen recording and Renee Video Editor Pro. These tools allow you to record the screen, add video effects, crop videos, and convert videos.
