Please Suggest a Screenshot Tool

I have to agree that Print Screen is the best thus far. If you need something extra and have no idea what the extra is, then I suggest that you investigate what screen capturing means to you and your end result.


I ran into a problem a few weeks ago and I thought a free solution was the answer, but as I went through the process I discovered I truly had some special needs. Office automation is not settling for plain Jane especially when more is needed.




Figure out what "MORE" is needed and investigate your need. At Buddyandbanjo our motto is:

Thank you!


Here is an excellent tip: If you are not familiar with automated GIF files, you can make them very easily. This was brought to my attention because I wanted some eye candy on my site and everyone else was creating them and I never in my life thought to figure them out.
Then it occurred to me that this simple skill is something I could ask other people who want to work for my company. In doing so, I discovered that there are a million things a marketing person should know and SIMPLE gif design is one of them.
I will present a website in just a minute. But here is how you create an automated gif. You screen capture a 400 x 360 photo or something on screen using print screen and save that image to your computer some where. You then create a blank one that is 400 x 360 for example. You do this as often as you like - I save three of these. On the first one, this is my base, on the second one, this where I make some changes and on the third image I make changes again and on the forth image I make sure it is identical to the very first image.


Upload all (4) images to this free site in the order I explained and it generates a gif for me that is animated. Free Online Animated GIF Maker - Make A GIF Easily I found this process very interesting and once I learned how to do this, it's wonderful. It is a small, very small step toward success and if you have been putting off doing this sort of stuff- Please try it once. It will take about a hour or a few hours of your time but the most exciting part is putting "YOUR CREATION" on your web space.
Recall our motto:Office Automation Is Not A Fad and I am not a programmer!

Thanks for your help. I will try the Print Screen and the Snipping tool. I've been trying to use Fireshot, but when I try to upload the screenshot to my wordpress site, there's no picture, just a link to my picture. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll try the above.

Thanks for the help,

FastStone Screen Capture - The Best Screen Capture Software

If you want to annotate screenshots as well, try "Greenshot". It's just the best as it allows automatic copying path to file to your clipboard after screenshot is saved plus it has integration to some image sharing services where you get URL copied to clipboard after upload completion. It also has magnifier for those precise screenshots you want without putting strain on your eye.

It really helps your productivity and I strongly recommend it.

I use Screenshot Captor every day. It's fast and easy to use. Can save in a multitude of formats, .jpg, .png, etc.



The best thing is that it is free! https://www.donationcoder.com/Softwa...eenshotcaptor/

Since no one else said it ... I'm a big fan of Jing, from the makers of Camtasia.

You can also do 5 minutes screen capture videos. that export to SWF, without a watermark.

It's free ... but there are some limitations like the 5 min video limit.
