How to take a screen shot of just an open application and not the whole screen.

This will show you how to create a screen shot off just an application or open window on your screen instead of the whole desktop. Thanks to YIT I know this works on all windows OS's and Ubuntu.

Step 1: Taking the screen shot

click on the application or open window you want to make a screen shot out of. Now press alt then print screen.

Or you hold "Alt" + "Print Screen" to take active window!
