You need to paste it into photoshop or whatever. Then do whatever you want with it

The clipboard

I use a program called PrintKey 2000. It allows you to:

1) Take screen shots
2) Print Directly to a printer
3) Save as a file (multiple formats)
4) Take only a section of the screen

It's pretty awesome and does not require another program.

To answer your question, it goes into the Clipboard...then you paste it inside your application.

It's stored to the clipboard, so that way you can paste it into Photoshop or whatever photo software you use

depends. on my office computer i need to have a photo app open then hold alt+prtscr, which gets it to the clipboard then paste it to the app like you would any other paste. i have heard thsat it varies depending on the app and most don't have any worthwhile help on the matter so just play around with it.
