:) I am going to stick to old version in this post. Bit weird to charge for what you are giving away for free in another product, but its their business. Alternatively you can get free FastStone Image Viewer that has Capture built-in (File > Screen Capture).

It went shareware but there is old freeware version available and it’s very good. My first choice tool is FastStone Capture. Start with freeware and decide if you actually need video recording or whatever else enough to pay for it. Some are capable of so much more they start charge money for it. freeform area (anyone into triangular screenshots?).This software must be capable of making following shots (at least) : Luckily screenshots were around for such a long time that category is stuffed with decent apps. extracting frames from video (if you ever tried to screenshot them - you know how shy videos are).įor making screenshots you need software.Direct and better solution than screenshoting them on desktop It is not last part (editing and some extra stuff ahead) but obviously important one. I want to repeat that it isn’t as easy as pressing PrintScreen (at least if you are after quality and making good impression). Last time I covered image formats theory and this part is going to be about making actual screenshots.
