I really like the snipping tool can send extracts from my Legacy Tree to people without having to print then scan into a pdf to send via e-mail. My recipients are very happy as well. |

As a general rule of thumb save photographs as Jpegs and low resolution images of fewer colours as GIFs or PNGs. GIFs and PNGs (which are sort of similar) may use far fewer colours than Jpegs so are not suitable for photographs but are perfect for images you want to use on the internet - particularly simple designs or icons. |

I just stole a pic from facebook using the snipping tool rather than how I usually do it, by right clicking and save as....I then saved to jpeg so could use it as a profile pic, rather then messing about as I have had to in the past with some of my pics |

Errol - I saved a couple of old newspaper items regarding an ancestor of mine. I didn't know how to save them before so this tool is invaluable. I've put them into a document file and will be able to print them off easily for my brother's family history file. |

If you choose the "Save as..." option in the Snipping Tool you can also choose whether to save as Jpeg, GIF or PNG which can be very useful |

Right then, to create a shortcut, click on Start menu and then "All Programs" (you have to do this from All Programs rather than an item pinned to or featuring on your Start menu). |
