Copy screenshot to clipboard

[bayoyong 0]

Ok, either I'm not doing it right or Evernote isn't working correctly...I would like to save a copy of any screenshot I take with Evernote to be copied to my clipboard so that I can quickly share it in an email/txt without opening Evernote, etc.

 

Can someone explain how to do this? Have looked everywhere.

 

Thx!

Jeff

Hi.  Depends on how you're taking the shot.

 

Evernote Windows will take screenshots into a note with Win+PrtScn or save them to your desktop Ctrl+Win+PrrtScn

Skitch will save a screenshot into Evernote or to your desktop

Assuming you mean Screen Capture in EN, I don't know what/if the equivalent is on the Mac, but on Windows if you hold the Ctrl key when you take the screen shot you can then paste immediately into an email or whatever.

Always good if the same options apply across OS - but it's not guaranteed;  have to wait for a more knowledgeable colleague if there's something more specific - best I can do is https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23168732

Thx. I tried both ctrl and cmd. Neither seem to work for me.

shift+ctrl+cmd+4 is a mac command that lets you take a screenshot and copies it to the clipboard - it doesn't add it to Evernote

Thx. I have a Mac.

 

Metrodon has provided you with the Mac built-in method, but I really like SnagIT.

 

If you often need selected screenshots and great annotations, then SnagIT is well worth the cost, IMO.

 

I have used it for many years, both on the Mac and Windows (one license allows use on both), and I love it.

You can set it up to copy to the Clipboard, and then it is very easy to paste into a new EN Note or an existing one.

A free trial is available.
