If they're simple folk and have never worked with imaging software of ANY kind, that's usually the thought process... They understand that pictures can go into xlsx (I've seen people paste into and send docx more often) so that's what they paste them in

@FreeMan that one could possibly be because the guy shot a movie, and just wanted to show one frame (and maybe he couldn't be arsed to walk back to wherever the DIY job was)... but still, I would always make a separate photo of the detail in that case

Possibly, @MiG. I would expect to see a "play" button and/or timeline bar in a paused video. Who knows...

@FreeMan those are there!

small play button in the middle (the darker circle with the triangle), timeline above the black menu bar

Wow... you're right. I just looked right past them. Hangs head in shame.

:D

that's two seconds of movie btw, I suspect he just made a boo boo and shot a movie when he wanted a photo

which brings us back to your original remark :P

I've still seen screen shots of pics, and I have received Word docs with Excel docs with screen shots...

the latest trend is people making photos of what's on their PC screen and sharing those o_O

Amazing what a couple of good quality hand drawn red circles can do!

hehe

on second thought, maybe he wanted to capture the dripping in action

Yeah, I've seen those, too. I'm actually guilty of that (hangs head in shame again). My eldest doesn't check email but once every couple of weeks, but he'll respond to a text right away, so sometimes I text a picture of the screen instead of emailing a nice screen capture...

top gear top tip: everything comes with a web or desktop client, so you can just use the regular (crisp) way for that :)

that includes whatsapp for example: web.whatsapp.com

you can paste straight into whatsapp from the clipboard btw
