# Screen Clipping One of NPS Image Editor's strengths is its screenshot-editing capabilities. Screen Clipping makes it even easier to capture a screenshot in various ways. ## Access the Screen Clipping tool From the Welcome Screen, click the dropdown menu or right-click the Paste button to access the "Screen Clipping..." option. From the Edit menu, click "Insert Screen Clipping...". From the Start Menu, search for "NPS Quick Snip" to create a new clipping without needing to open NPS Image Editor ahead of time. ## Create a screen clipping Your screen will turn slightly gray. From here, click and drag a region to clip it. NPS Image Editor will open with the image you clipped. Press Esc if you would like to cancel without creating a clipping. ## Crop an existing screenshot Press Print Scr to grab a screenshot of the entire desktop. You can of course paste it in as-is, but NPS Image Editor offers several tools to more easily get just the parts you need. ### Crop to Monitor From the Welcome Screen's Paste menu, choose "Select Monitor..." to display a preview of your desktop split up by monitor. Click the monitor to open just that monitor's part of the desktop. ### Clip from Screenshot This works similarly to the Screen Clipping tool except it uses an older screenshot. Use this to clip out part of a screenshot you took earlier or to capture things that require focus (such as tooltips or opened menus).
