looking for screenshot software

drumtrucker · Feb 14, 2004

Any recommendations for free or inexpensive software to take screen shots of windows to be able to include them in documentation or requests for support.

Anybody?

I like the Printscreen key + MSPaint combination.

If you don't know how, just open the thing you want to take a screenshot of and press PrtScn in the upper right corner of your keyboard. Then go into paint and press ctrl+v (paste). And if you just want a pic of the first window, press Alt+PrtScn instead of just PrtScn.

well I'll be durned

that is the ticket, and talk about cheap!

Thanks

PrtSc generally takes the whole desktop. Use ALT + PrtSc when you just want the application that's focussed.

MWSnap will sit in your tray and will let you define the area to be captured, even saves it as a jpg or bmp.

And if anyone that has a Mac and is wondering about screenshot software check out SnapzX.

It will capture ANYTHING that is displayed on your screen, even make video too.

Another cool program with some added functionality to taking screenshots is Clipper found at http://www.hot.ee/mardu123/clipper/ - I've been working with this guy to add some functions to this thing but so far it's been great.
