## Saving sections of captured screens

TI Device Explorer gives you the option of saving only selected sections of captured screens. You may want to save selected parts of captured screens when you only need a small part of the screen for a document.

### Before you start

Make sure you captured the screen in normal view.

### To save sections of captured screens

| 1. | If necessary, edit the captured screen. (See "Editing captured screens".)

| 2. | Click the captured screen and drag your cursor over the section you want to capture.

A box forms around the selected section.

Note: If necessary, you can adjust the size of the selection. Hold your cursor over any corner of the box until an arrow appears, then drag the corner to the needed size.

| 3. | Click the selected section and hold down the mouse button.

The cursor becomes a closed hand. A transparent copy of the selected section may appear.

| 4. | Drag the image to the desktop.

TI Device Explorer creates a picture clipping file and puts it on the desktop.

| 5. | Click the name of the picture clipping file.

| 6. | Type a new name and press Enter.

Note: To save the picture clipping file to your hard drive, open the Macintosh HD to the desired location and drag the picture clipping file there.
