Open a random web page or an application and press the Print Screen to take a screen shot of your desktop.

If you hold the Alt key you will take a screen shot of only the active window.

In Photoshop click File and choose New.

In the new document settings window the dimensions of your screen shot are already entered, just click OK.

 
 
3.
 

In the menu click Edit and choose Paste to paste you screen shot.

Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M for a keyboard shorcut).

 
 
4.
 

Now select the area of your screen shot image you will than attach into a screen on another image.

You can as well skip this step if you want to.
