Windows 10: Screen Shots change colour when pasted into word

When I take a screen shot of a webpage or dashboard and past into word in Windows 10 it is changing colour with a slight pink tinge. The Web site is normal colour and I get the following result when pasted. I have tried change in Picture Format corrections that did not work. I checked as many display settings as I could think of and nothing had changed. This just happened very suddenly this afternoon. Any suggestions greatly appreciated as I have tried everything to no avail

:)

 

Change Date and Clock Colour


I have a suggestion, Atomic Alarm Clock, Download Atomic Alarm Clock - Computer alarm clock and customize tray clock
I can synchronize it with an atomic clock and I can change how it looks easily.

Screen Shot in Windows 10

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you referring to?
• Are you facing any kind of issues with Windows?

If you want to take a screen shot and save it as picture, I suggest you to check with the below steps.

To take a screen shot and save it as a picture

• 
  Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact
  key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
  

Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, and then click
  Paint.
  
• 
  In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click
  Paste.
  
• 
  When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click
  Save As.
  
• 
  In the Save As dialog box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click
  Save.
  

Please do get back to us with the answers to assist you better with issue you are facing.

 

Screen Shot Resolution

Hi AndrewV20,

Thank you for replying.

We have few suggestion for the issue.

1. After doing Print Screen, copy it on
   Paint and check if the image gets compressed.
2. Please try Snipping Tool to take the screens shot and check if the image gets compressed.

As you are using Microsoft Word to save the picture, in that scenario you need to make some changes in Word application. Please refer the below link.

Turn off picture compression

Hope it helps.
