1. This one is surely going to be one of the most HIT feature of Windows 7.This feature allows users to capture , edit and share information of web and local pictures (images).Snipping allows you to send the capture image/text to anyone using the option listed on the menu options.This allows user to save the selected portion in any of the formats PNG,GIF,JPEG & MHT.
2. To explain it in a simpler way.What we used to earlier till Vista when we wanted a screen shot.Four steps :
- Press print screen
- Go to Paint Brush
- Do paste
- Save in desired format
3. This is now replaced by one click on the snipping tool...all steps done in one click.No print screen,no opening of paint brush,no paste,no saving.So time saved is time gained.
