You can change the options for screen captures at any time. Options include "Always copy snips to the clipboard," "Display icon in the Quick Launch toolbar," and "Show selection ink after snips are captured." Showing the selection ink (choose red, blue, or another color) means that saved snips will have a border around them in the color of ink you choose in the Options menu.
