Five more apps for screen capture in Windows

Five more apps for screen capture in Windows

Thisrngallery is also available as a TechRepublic article.

Last month, I shared with my take on five effective toolsrnfor capturing your screen in Windows, and it has attracted quite a few commentsrnwith suggestions for different utilities to check out. You can never have toornmany options for something as seemingly pedestrian as taking pictures of yourrndesktop and windows. For this next round up, here are my five picks sourcedrnstraight from the TechRepublic community.

Five Apps

rnrn

1. PickPic

rnrnThis one definitely caughtrnmy attention amongst the suggested apps to look at. In addition to effectivelyrnsnapping in whatever I desired, I could also send files directly over FTP to a remoternserver, enable automatic file naming (which can include the time, date andrncomputer name), and a plethora of functions which can easily be mapped tornhotkeys. Heck, there’s even a protractor tool, for measuring angles of objectsrnon screen! A fresh and modern user interface is a nice added touch as well.rnPickPic is definitely made out to be a winner. PickPic is free for personalrnuse, with a license fee required for commercial use, starting at $21.99 a copyrnwith volume discounts.

2. FullShot

rnrnPart of a good screenrncapture product is the ability to stay out of the way and be easy to access atrnall times. FullShot aims to accomplish this task, by integrating key options,rnlike dialog and desktop capture, straight onto the title bars of any window.rnNeed to snap a shot of an error message dialog? No need to precision aim yourrnmouse over the message. Simply click the “W” button and your dialogrnbox will be sent over to the editor just like that. The shortcut buttons don’trnshow up on the resulting output either. FullShot is available for a 30-dayrntrial period, with full usage licenses starting at $49.99.

3. FastStone

rnrnSo everyone knows that yourncan capture content that is directly visible on-screen. But not everyone knowsrnthat tools like FastStone can fully capture documents and webpages, includingrnoff-screen content. In addition to regular image snagging capabilities, you canrnacquire an image of an entire scrolling file or online resource with a fewrnsimple button clicks. The process can be automatic or you can perform a customrnscroll operation, so that only the content you scroll to will be copied out.rnFastStone is available for a 30-day trial period, then for $19.95 thereafter.

4. PrintKey-Pro

rnrnFile this one under thernoldie-but-goodie department.

You can also print directly to a printer after capture and sendrnthrough email right from the main window too. PrintKey-Pro is available for arn30-day trial period, then for $19.95 thereafter.
