Free-Form Snip

Windows 10

Snippet

   

Snipping Tool

 

What is a Free-Form Snip? It allows you to capture a particular area of the screen and omit anything you don't want.

Here is an example

Here is a picture of Annabelle being held

   

If I wanted to get rid of the person and only show Annabelle, I would use Free-Form to indicate where I want to cut

 

To do this, I would do the following

  1. Open Snipping Tool

  2. Click the down arrow on Mode

   

  1. Click Free-Form

   

  1. Click New

   

  1. Draw around the item I want to cut

   

  1.  Click Save

   

  1. Choose location you want to save the file at

  1. Give the file a name

   

  1. Choose the file type you want to save it as 

   

  1. Click Save

   

 

 

Some times when you save a file from snippet tool, the picture can be very large. If you are trying to email the picture or save it on a disk that is limited in space, the size may be too big to save or email. You will need to shrink the size of it. There is numerous programs out there that will allow you to adjust the size. Windows Paint will allow you to shrink the size.

Note: When you edit the picture, save it under a different file name than the original. Changing the size can distort some of the picture. If you save it under a different file name and you realize you shouldn't have changed the size, you will still have the original. If you save it under the same name, you will lose the original and will have to start from scratch.
