Snipping Tool

lSnipping Tool is an application that comes with Windows 7 and is used to "snip" portions of the screen and save them as pictures. A good example is the picture on the right, which was cut using the snipping tool. The pictures "snipped" by the Snipping Tool can be savd in several different file formats such as JPG and PNG. The snipping tool also comes with some basic editing tolls such as a pen and a highlighter. Mac OS X has a similar application called Grab.
