It really would benefit most people to learn to use (Windows) Snipping Tool or (Mac) cmd-shift-4 to crop an image that is currently displayed on their screen; that would create a new image altogether (cropped screenshot). It's truly even easier to use than whatever Gsuite or Office alternatives they would otherwise use, once you know of their existence.
My significant other is outside of tech and wasn't aware of either of these. Once shown, there was no reason to go back to using anything else to crop images.
No image editors involved!
- thrashh 4y agoScreenshotting an image will easily destroy resolution. It’s not a good way if you are making a document intended to be printed
- albert_e 4y agoyes. saving a screenshot as JPG (lossy format) adds more loss - if you started with a lossy image in the first place then we are losing even more information by screenshotting it and saving it again in a lossy format. even when not intended for print, when making formal documents and presentations I look for the original images at highest resolution available.
