Capturing screenshots is useful for all kinds of reasons from building tutorials to illustrating game and software graphics like we do everyday here at Softonic. Most operate on the same point-and-shoot principle but differ in the number of features they have and how powerful they are. Here's a handy selection of my top ten screen-capture utilities:
- SnagIt - Capture, share, add special effects and annotate all-in-one
- Super Screen Capture - Excellent for making training videos and tutorials
- TNT Screen Capture - Create enhanced screenshots that sell for publicity purposes
- Freez Screen Video Capture - Record movements and even sounds
- FullShot Screen Capture - Capture entire screens with ease
- Super Screen Capture - Gives you 10 different ways to capture a shot
- Amor Screen Capture - Save your screenshots in a wide range of formats
- CaptureXT Screen Capture - Annotate screenshots to your heart's content
- Capture My Screen - Screen captures in as few clicks as possible
- My Screen Capture ActiveX - 5 ways to capture shots based on ActiveX
[...] Now that you are convinced, all that remains is to download a suitable screen capture tool. The built-in Windows XP print screen functionality is extremely basic, so I strongly recommend using a more powerful application. Apparently Microsoft Vista has a much enhanced screen capture capability, but I have yet to use it. Personally, I use Gadwin PrintScreen, which I find to have a good balance between speed of use and functionality. The basic version is free, though the professional version has additional features and is good value. InsideTonic also has a top-ten list of screen capture tools that are worth a look. [...]
DevExtras Print Screen is also pretty good, it's got a built in image editor, and also has a free version for black & white captures. (www.devextras.com/printscreen)
