## Saving captured screens

Saving a captured screen gives you the ability to use it in other documents or send it to other people. TI Device Explorer can also save screens in different image formats.

Note: If you want to save a border to the screen, you must capture and save the screen in normal view.

### To save captured screens (normal view)

| 1. | If necessary, edit the captured screen.

| 2. | Click the captured screen and hold down the mouse button.

The cursor becomes a closed hand. A transparent copy of the captured screen appears.

| 3. | Drag the transparent copy to the desktop.

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

| 4. | Click the name of the picture clipping file.

| 5. | Type a new name and press Enter.

### To save captured screens (merged view)

| 1. | Drag the captured screen to the desktop.

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

| 2. | Click the name of the picture clipping file.

| 3. | Type a new name and press Enter.

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